MAINE GOSSIP


!
KS In Nay Time
Oh say y,,,a It's good to be alive In May
For the fragrant bainay breeze
Swaps little tassels in the trees. 81.
And birds make nests among the
leaves
MY soul always stirs and thrills to
the May time,
II shakes off dull winters care,
And prepares to do and dare,
All Is hopeful, bright and fair
lin May time.
Such rare music we enjoy in the May
time.
Blackbirds wing their merry flight,
Bobolinks rave in pure delight,
And the frogs mfs NJ Nav es time. at h'sn'
The colors are SO pretty in the May
willows Spreading their light green,
Placid water with it's sheen
Skies the bluest ever seen,
AT May time.
To the Giver of all good. in the May
I thank Thee for the flowers.
The warm, seed swelling showers
BUSY thoughts, plans, happy hours. .
And May time. =,
