Oh! 'Tis May

Come and idle in the sun,

Come and idle, everyone,

Flowering May

Is wholly gay,

Come and idle in the sun.

Come and smell the new-mown lawn,

Fragrant grass, and dew-wet dawn.

Buds unfold,

And leaves grown bold

Spread great shadows on the lawn.

Come and hear the chaffinch trill,

Hear the lark and thrushes thrill!

Come along,

Such a song,

Such a chorus bright and shrill.

Won't you come?

Hear the hum,

Hear the hum of tireless bee.

Come with me,
