One of my favourite poems, one of my favourite love poems, and probably my favourite summer-themed poem is this rondel extracted from The Parliament of Fowls and known as Now Welcome Summer With Thy Sun(ne) Soft by Chaucer (link to my journal). I love the exhuberant music of the sound echoing the sense. I hope some com members enjoy it as much as I do but I also understand that some people find Chaucer's older English tricky to read so if you need any additional explanations then please ask me. :-)
