SONG OF MAY
BY CATHARINE ALLAN.
The month of flowers is here at last,
Chill winds and storms are o'er,
The trees no longer in the blast
Rock on the wintry shore!
And raging March has passed away,
And April with its showers--
Then welcome in the blushing May,
The month of song and flowers!
The birds are pairing in the wood,
The buds are softly stirred,
And on the noontide solitude
The gushing brook is heard!
The lilac floods with balm the air.
In music go the hours--
Sweet May comes in so debonair,
The month of song and flowers.

The month of flowers is here at last,
Chill winds and storms are o'er,
The trees no longer in the blast
Rock on the wintry shore!
And raging March has passed away,
And April with its showers--
Then welcome in the blushing May,
The month of song and flowers!
The birds are pairing in the wood,
The buds are softly stirred,
And on the noontide solitude
The gushing brook is heard!
The lilac floods with balm the air.
In music go the hours--
Sweet May comes in so debonair,
The month of song and flowers.
