One Last Caress

Late Summer Photography here & below by Jay Beets

A song for the Eve of the Autumnal Equinox

The Summer Knows

performed by Barbra Streisand

The summer smiles
The summer knows
And unashamed
She sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes
The restless sky
And lovingly
She warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer’s wise
She sees the doubts
Within your eyes
And so she takes
Her summertime
Tells the moon to wait
And the sun to linger
Twist the world
Round her summer finger
Lets you see
The wonder of it all
And if you’ve learned
Your lesson well
There’s little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall
And if you’ve learned
Your lesson well
There’s little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall


lyrics by Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman
music by Michel LeGrand

    "When summer gathers up her robes of glory,
    And, like a dream, glides away."
