Season of Flowers! Sweet May! thy birth we hail! 
As glad emotions thrill our grateful hearts, 
And perfume-laden breezes waft the tale, 
That lingering Winter from our land departs ; 
Accept our tribute on thy natal day, 
And shed thy smiles upon us, gentle May! 
’T is thine to bring the rosy-tinted hours, 
That youth delights in — age remembers still, 
The early verdure, and the budding flowers, 
The boon of promise, Summer will fulfil —
