Now the bright morning-star, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from ______ east, and leads with her
The flowery May, who ______ her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip, and the ______ primrose.
Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire;
Woods and groves are of thy dressing,
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we ______ thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and ______ thee long.
