| | From “Spinners”
IT is the May-time now, | |
| And in a place I know | |
| Some girl God will allow | |
| To see the cowslips blow; | |
| |
| And the hyacinths, the fern | 5 |
| That grow by the riversides; | |
| Narcissi, white and stern | |
| Like sad unwilling brides. | |
| |
| Some other girl will run | |
| And, dancing through the grass, | 10 |
| Will laugh in the wholesome sun, | |
| And feel the sweet hours pass. | |
| |
| Laugh and be merry—oh, | |
| Laugh! Laugh, and play for me! | |
| Go where the sweet flowers grow, | 15 |
| And see what I cannot see! | | | | |
|
