Drinking in the Shade - Canvas

Drinking in the Shade by Mary Ann Evans aka George Eliot

In the summer of days so balmy and fair,
On the grass so soft I shall lie and drink from my chair.
The warm sun will beat down, but I'm happy in the shade,
A pleasant respite from too long in the sun I've made.
For the cooling, gentle breeze will keep spirits alive,
As I sip in contentment, all stress I can contrive.
A precious alone moment, I'll take in all I see,
Happy to be in my spot, blessed by the summer breeze.
AI George Eliot
