“Summer Sun” by Robert Louis Stevenson

Tall grass or plant stems appear blurred in the foreground, silhouetted against a sky that shifts from warm orange and yellow near the horizon to cooler blue tones above, creating a serene and atmospheric effect.

R. L. Stevenson's poem “Summer Sun” was first published in 1885, as part of his collection titled A Child’s Garden of Verses. In it, the poet personifies the Sun, presenting him as “the gardener of the World” — a kind presence that brings life, warmth, and gladness to all living things.
