Using reverse image search I was able to identify this as part of Henry Fletcher's Twelve Months of Flowers, from 1942. all twelve months can be found online. Here's an etsy shop that seems to have them all, along with some other things! https://www.etsy.com/market/fletcher_months_print
I've started paying more attention to the changing of the seasons and how the sunlight changes throughout the year. I enjoyed the cyclical imagery throughout this poem and all of the scriptural imagery!
Funny you say that. It was just a few nights ago and I thought, "there is still so much of summer left but I can already tell the days are getting shorter." I think that might have spurred this entire poem. And that print that I see every day. haha..

Good work Scoot! I hadn't even thought of reverse image searching.
I would bet that a few more of these make their way into the Petty home.
I like this, Substack is a great place for sharing poetry.
Glad you got the formatting sorted!
Thank you for reading!

But thank you for your kind words.
Um...ok this is beautiful.
I need to introduce my kids to more poetry! Any suggestions??
