Robert Louis Stevenson is best known for writing the books Treasure Islandand The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but he was also a great poet who wrote about almost everything. With the summer in full swing all over America, this poem about the summer sun is a sweet little meditation on the ruler of the daytime:I just love the simple imagery of this poem, especially the idea of his “golden fingers” slipping through the blinds. The sun is always there! He’s just up in the sky, relaxing, giving light and life to the world. Just lovely.
