ship correspondent Of the LEADER
sings about May and may his admira-
tion for May be justified before June
comes jumping into rhyme:
"Sing a song of Maytime,
Banish clouds Of gloom,
April left her blessing
All the world a-bloom.
JOlu UIle 0dTClly CIlOEuSi
Let your voices ring;
Should you be forgetful,
Don't forget to sing.
Crocuses upspringing,
Violets in the dell,
Zephyrs sweet unfolding
Rose and lily-bell.
Pansies In the woodlands,
Daisies in the field;
Waving corn and barley,
Promising sweet yield.
Sing q song Of Maytime,
While you watch and walt;
Let 1t be a glad one,
June Is at the gate.
Summer soon will greet US,
Bending skies Of blue;
Birds and bees and blossoms,
Summer rain and dew.
Sing q song of Maytime;
Leave out gloom and fear:
Sing about the sunshine;
All the world wants cheer.
