14. MAY. 



ORETTY little violets, waking from your sleep, 



Fragrant little blossoms just about to peep, 

 Would you know the reason all the world is gay ? 

 Listen to the Bobolink, telling you 't is May. 



Little ferns and grasses, all so green and bright, 

 Purple clover nodding, daisy fresh and white, 

 Would you know the reason all the world is gay? 

 Listen to the Bobolink, telling you 't is May. 



Darling little warblers, coming in the spring, 

 Would you know the reason that you love to sing? 

 Hear the merry children shouting at their play, 

 " Listen to the Bobolink, telling you 't is May ! "
