Happy May!

A May Morning

The mist of early morning

Has slowly passed away,

A scene of rarest beauty

Unfolds where late it lay.

What can surpass in sweetness

The charm that dwells in May?

The wondrous fresh leaves glisten

In sunshine glad and bright;

The birds, in merry humor,

Give thanks for Spring’s sweet light;

The miracle of May-time

Bursts full upon the sight.

The whole green earth rejoices

In warmth and light to-day;

The scent of myriad blossoms

Is wafted far away.

Where is there other brightness

Like that we find in May?
