SONG
The Return Of May
Hail! fairy queen, adorned with flowers,
Attended by the smiling hours,
'Tis thine to dress the rosy bowers,
     In colours gay;
We love to wander in they train
To meet thee on the fertile plain
To bless thy soft propitious regin,
     O lovely May!

'Tis thine to dress the vale anew,
In fairest verdure bright with dew;
And harebells of the mildest blue,
     Smile in thy way;
Then let us welcome pleasant spring,
And still the flowery tribute bring,
And still to thee our carol sing,
     O lovely May!

Now by the genial zephyr fanned,
The blossoms of the rose expand;
And reared by thee with gentle hand,
     Their charms display;
The air is balmy and serene,
And all the sweet luxuriant scene
By thee is clad in tender green,
     O lovely May!
BY:  Mrs. Hemans, 1793-1835
