Maytime
Oh, the Maytime
Is the playtime!
Petals falling,
Cuckoos calling,
Here and there;
Flowers springing
Wood-birds singing
Everywhere.
Is the playtime!

Oh, the woodland
Is the good land!
All that rare is
In Maytime there is.
Is the good land!
All that rare is
In Maytime there is.
In sweet places
Children's features
Take the graces
Of wild creatures,
Till their faces
Gleam and dimple
With the simple
Look of flowers;
And their brightening
Is the enlightening
Of dark hours.
