• When May, with cowslip-braided locks,
  Walks through the land in green attire.
  And burns in meadow-grass the phlox
  His torch of purple fire:
  And when the punctual May arrives,
  With cowslip-garland on her brow,
  We know what once she gave our lives,
  And cannot give us now!

  Pauses a moment, with white twinkling feet,
  And golden locks in breezy play,
  Half teasing and half tender, to repeat
  Her song of May.

• All furnished, all in arms;
  All plum'd like estridges that with the wind
  Bated like eagles having lately bathed;
  Glittering in golden coats like images;
  As full of spirit as the month of May
  And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
  Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.

• Ah! my heart is weary waiting,
  Waiting for the May:
  Waiting for the pleasant rambles
  Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles,
  Where the woodbine alternating,
  Scent the dewy way;
  Ah! my heart is weary, waiting,
  Waiting for the May.
