    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!

In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made.

Oh! that we two were Maying
Down the stream of the soft spring breeze;
Like children with violets playing,
In the shade of the whispering trees.

May, queen of blossoms,
And fulfilling flowers,
With what pretty music
Shall we charm the hours?
Wilt thou have pipe and reed,
Blown in the open mead?
Or to the lute give heed
In the green bowers.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

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
Her song of "May."

Ah! my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May:
Waiting for the pleasant rambles
Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles,
Where the woodbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way;
Ah! my heart is weary, waiting,
Waiting for the May.
