T 0 the MON T II of 1I Ay,
Shining, smiling, flowery May,
Listen to my humble lay,
Fondly cloth my eye discern
Tokens of thy glad return ;
Now arc nature's prospects seen,
Decked with newly spreading green :
All is charming, all is gay,
Shilling, smiling, flowery May.
Ilappy month 1 thy welcome reign,
With its ever pleasing train,
Scatters pleasures here and there,
-Pleasures which the many share ;
Even in the crowded town,
Thousands hail thy blooming crown,
And to thee their honours pay,
Shining, Smiling, flowery May.
While thy trees and flowers assume
New attire on leaf and bloom,
We prepare a change of dress,
Suited to thy loveliness.
Daily now is MOSES' Mart
Tilled with things in every part,
Won by MOSES' choice display,
Shinf•rg, smiling, flowery May.
I myself have lately been
To this busy trading scene ;
And with pleasure did I scan
Dress designed on such a plan.
Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too,
Really beautiful to view,
Here were bought for little pay,
Shining, smiling, flowery May.
Hats and Caps and Boots and Shoes,
Such as none could well refuse,
Showed what MOSES' Mart can do,
When thy month appears in view.
May the preparations made,
Add to Messrs. MOSES' trade,
And with this I close my lay,
Shining, smiling, flowery May.
