An Idyl of the May

Home Garden Flower Cart

In the beautiful May weather,
      Lapsing soon into June;
    On a golden, golden day
    Of the green and golden May,
      When our hearts were beating tune
      To the coming feet of June,
  Walked we in the woods together.

    -- Kate Seymour Maclean (1880) from "An Idlyl of the May"
