NEW ENGLAND FARMER, 



MAY 2. 1839. 



MAY. 



BY JAMES GRAHAME. 



On blithe May morning, when the lark's first note 

 Ascends, on vii^wlcsa wing, veiled in the mist, 

 The vilhire maids then liie ihom to the woods 

 To kiss the fresh dew from the daisy's brim ; 

 Wandering in misty ^l.-'des ihey lose their way ; 

 And, ere aware, meet in their lovers' arms, 

 Like joining dew drops on the blushing rose. 



Sweet month ! thy locks with bursting buda bedecked, 

 With opening hyacinths, and hawthorn blooms, 

 Fair stiti ihou art, though showers bedim thine eye; 

 The clnud soon quits lliy brow, and, mild, the sun 

 Looks out with watery Learn, looks out, and smiles. 



Now from the wild flower bank the little bird 

 Picks the tsofi moss, and to the thicket flies; 

 And oft returns, and oft the work renews. 

 Till all the curious fabric hangs complete ; 

 AlaH, but ill concealed from schoolboy's eye. 

 Who, heedless of the warbler's saddest plaint, 

 Tears from the bush the toil of many an hour ; 

 Then, thoughtless wretch ! pursues the devious bee, 

 Buzzing from flower to flower : She wings her flight 

 Far from his following eye, to walled parterres, 

 Where, undisturbed, shts revels 'mid (he beds 

 Of full grown lilies, doomed to die uncoiled, 

 Save when the stooping fair (more beauteous flower !) 

 The bosom's rival brightness lialf betrays. 

 While choosing *mong the gently bending atalkSf 

 The snowy hand a sister bijssom seems. 



More sweet to me the lily's meekened grace, 

 Than gaudy hues, br.llrant as summer clouds 

 Around the sinking sun : to me more sweet 

 Tlian gnrish day, the twilight's softened grace, 

 When deepening shades obscure the dusky woods; 

 Then comes the silence of the dewy hour, 

 With songs of nooniide birds, tlirilling in fancy's ear. 

 Wliile from yon elm, with water-kissing b(tughs 

 AWiiglhe moveless winding of the bro"k, 

 The smooth expanse is calmness, stillness all, 

 Unless th<^ springing trout, with quick replunge 

 Arousing mcdiiation's downward look, 

 Ruffle, with mnny a gentle circling wave 

 On wave, the glassy surface undulating far.
