Steals softly through the night,
TIE wanton with the winding stream,
And kiss reflected light
With joyous hearts the children dream
Of rosy chaplets gay,
Till morn with radiant glories TEEN,
And give the promised May.
Strike up the tabor's boldest notes,
And rouse the nodding grove;
The nestled birds shall raise their throats,
Where midnight fairies rove.
For see the rosy May draws nigh,
And on the tufted green
A host of happy children cry,
All hail our virgin queen.
