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