Terrible Summer

In the heat of a terrible summer's day,  
The sun blazes with unrelenting sway.  
Sweat-soaked shirts cling to weary backs,  
As temperatures rise on endless tracks.  

Parched landscapes gasp for a drop of rain,  
While nature wilts in the scorching pain.  
The air is thick with a stifling heat,  
No relief found in shade or retreat.  

Oh, how the sun in its cruel delight,  
Seems to stretch the day into endless night.  
The once lively songs of birds are still,  
As the heat suffocates with its sweltering will.
