The sunshine seeks my little room

The sunshine seeks my little room
To tell me Paris streets are gay;
That children cry the lily bloom
All up and down the leafy way;
That half the town is mad with May,
With flame of flag and boom of bell:
For Carnival is King to-day;
So pen and page, awhile farewell.

    seems summer season has begun and and the dormant city is vivid with vibrant fun and carnival ... and so the poet bid farewell to the pen and paper for a while...
    impressive rhyme and flow of words ... even the internal rhyme and alliteration

    It would indeed be a mighty day to draw me set the pen and paper down. I would so be inclined to take them with me.

    For Carnival is King to-day
    Loved it.
