THE MAY QUEEN “The honeysuckle round the porch has woven its wavy bowers, & by the meadow-trenches blow the faint sweet cuckoo-flowers; & the wild marsh-marigold shines like fire in swamps & hollows gray, & I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. The night-winds come & go, mother, upon the meadow-grass, & the happy stars above them seem to brighten as they pass; There will not be a drop of rain the whole of the livelong day, & I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. All the valley, mother, ‘ill be fresh & green & still, & the cowslip & the crowfoot are over all the hill, & the rivulet in the flowery dale ‘ill merrily glance & play, For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. So you must wake & call me early, call me early, mother dear, To-morrow ‘ill be the happiest time of all the glad New-year; To-morrow ‘ill be of all the year the maddest merriest day, For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May.” -A.T.
