    When May, with cowslip-braided locks,
    Walks through the land in green attire.
    And burns in meadow-grass the phlox
    His torch of purple fire:
    . . . .
    And when the punctual May arrives,
    With cowslip-garland on her brow,
    We know what once she gave our lives,
    And cannot give us now!

Spring's last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet,
Pauses a moment, with white twinkling feet,
And golden locks in breezy play,
Half teasing and half tender, to repeat
