may day

song: on may morning

now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,

comes dancing from the east, and leads with her

the flow'ry may, who from her green lap throws

the yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.

hail, bounteous may, thou dost inspire

mirth and youth and warm desire!

woods and goves are of they dressing,

hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.

thus, we salute thee with our early song,

and welcome thee, and wish thee long.

by john milton (1608 - 1674)
