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.
