| 6. Summer Stars |
| |
| BEND low again, night of summer stars. | |
| So near you are, sky of summer stars, | |
| So near, a long arm man can pick off stars, | |
| Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl, | |
| So near you are, summer stars, | 5 |
| So near, strumming, strumming, | |
| So lazy and hum-strumming. | |
