Waiting for the May.
All my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the pleasant rambles,
Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles,
With the woodbines alternating
Scent the dewy way.
All, my heart is weary waiting;
Writing for the May
All my heart is sick With longing,
Longing for the May
Longing to escspe from study
To the fair young face and rudy,
And the thousand charms belonging
Ts the summer day.
All, my heart is siek wi h longing,
Longing for the May.
Waiting, sad. detected, weary,

stern old man commenced praying to theI
