JOYOUS May has come again With her sunshine, breeze and dew, Holding up her silken train, See the blossoms, sweet and new. Here a yellow primrose shows All the world a heart of gold, There a scarlet tulip glows, By the breeze made overbold. Joyous May, we welcome you, Welcome you and all you bring, Skies so shining and so blue, Birds to twitter and to sing, Children on the green to play, Blushing maid, and eager swain, At your coming, joyous May, All the world grows young again. |
