May / H. Cordelia Ray

May 

Sweet winsome May, coy pensive fay,
     Comes garlanded with lily bells,
And apple blooms shed incense through the bow'r,
     To be her dow'r;
     While through the leafy dells
     A wondrous concert swells
To welcome May, the dainty fay.

H. Cordelia Ray (1852-1916)
