MAY IS BACK

May is back, and You and I

Are at the stream again —

The leaves are out,

And all about

The building birds begin

To make a merry din:

May is back, and You and I

Are at the dream again.

May is back, and You and I

Lie in the grass again,—

The butterfly

Flits painted by,

The bee brings sudden fear,

Like people talking near;

May is back, and You and I

Are lad and lass again.

May is back, and You and I

Are heart to heart again,—

In God's green house

We make our vows

Of summer love that stays

Faithful through winter days;

May is back, and You and I

Shall never part again.
