| Hamilton Fish Armstrong, ed. The Book of New York Verse. 1917. | | | | May Day | | By Sara Teasdale |
| | | THE SHINING line of motors, | |
| The swaying motor-bus, | |
| The prancing dancing horses | |
| Are passing by for us. | |
| |
| The sunlight on the steeple, | 5 |
| The toys we stop to see, | |
| The smiling passing people | |
| Are all for you and me. | |
| |
| “I love you and I love you!”— | |
| “And oh, I love you, too!” | 10 |
| “All of the flower girl’s lilies | |
| Were only grown for you!” | |
| |
| Fifth Avenue and April | |
| And love and lack of care— | |
| The world is mad with music | 15 |
| Too beautiful to bear. | | | | |
