This 3 stanza poem describes a carefree summer scene. The first stanza establishes that it is summertime, the living is easy, and fish are jumping. The second stanza provides more context that the cotton is high, one's daddy is rich and mamma is good looking. The third stanza looks ahead to the future when the child will rise up singing, spread their wings and take flight. But for now, with daddy and mamma standing by, there is nothing that can harm the child.
