"Sumer is icumen in" is the incipit of a medieval English round or rota of the mid-13th century; it is also known variously as the Summer Canon and the Cuckoo Song.
The line translates
approximately to "Summer has come" or "Summer has arrived".
The song is written in the Wessex dialect of Middle English. Although the
composer's identity is unknown today, it may have been W. de Wycombe or a monk
at Reading Abbey, John of Fornsete [Wikidata]. The manuscript in which it is
preserved was copied between 1261 and 1264.
