THE MONTH OF MAY

HAPPY MAY DAY" Tis like the birthday of the world,

When the earth was born in bloom;

The light is made of many dyes,

The air is all perfume:

There's crimson buds, and white and blue,

The very rainbow showers

Have turned to blossoms where they fell,

And sows the earth with flowers." ~Thomas Hood
