The warning the sweet May moon
Junes laughing face discloses,
Her apron filled with buttercups,
Her bosom red with roses.
The blossom and the bursting bud
Are woven in her tresses,
And every breeze that fans her cheek
Is laden with caresses.
Perhaps you've seen a title maid
With lips like ripened cherries
We're going down the meadow path
This afternoon for berries.
III tell you more about the walk
Before the summer roses;
So fill a cup with laughing June,
And wreathe tae brim with roses.
TIE birds forsake the open plains
And seek the leafy covers
Some months we've made for married
life,
But June was means for lovers.
