'Tis glorious month for the Poet and bird
And doubt me if ever n sTeeter were heard
Than that which sings high the old chestnut bough
That 50 lovingly droops round my window.sill now
Oh leave the dun hearth, for why will ye linger,
With pale aching brow, or swift plying 6nger2
Throw the work quite away, leave the pens tsrdy
motions;
All the dreamy new books will make good sleeping
potions
1 should know it is May, withcu: any cipher
Of Calendar months, by our joyous old ffer,
Who strOlls through the village, fthO rudo fife
That clings to his lips, tho sOace life
I should know the glad month this glowing day,
BY the urcbins, half crazy with marbles and PLAY;
And even the Sun seems to wear a new splendor.
Or pen wearied eyes are becoming more tonderi
But sometimes old Winter, 20 make the folks fret
Steps in upon May, just for one pirouette;
snow-drft or hsil-storm, or something of scurrv.
To let us all know he's not of in a hurry!
Rude Winter! all icsbound cad stern a. thou art,
There's something about thee that clins to my heart
With thy warm-eurtlined rooms and thy bright So
cal faces,
where one can sit down without studying gracesr
There's tho table 50 filed with food for the mind
mat the food for the body is half left behind
Till some Epicure-spirit sweeps Of in a freak,
some silvery verse, some eour critique
Then the new books Hove them whenever they come,
Without any brown mark from finger or thumb,
That shows how some pale, snufy student before
Hath puroined all their add to his store
But May is a sad month whenever we find
What long sunny Mays we are leaving behind
And many q slab in tho churchyard will say,
Our brightest our dearest, we buried in MAY,
Oh May is the season for roaming or rest,
Through the wild wood, whichever may please Won
the best;
With the blue sky above and the moss for n tbrope
You may fancy wild Natures sweet kingdom YOUR
own!
Yes seated for hours in some dreamy nook
With silly new song, a wondrous old book
The song is ones own, and collected With care.
But 1t puts you to sleep in spite of the air!
