MAYTIME

AS MAYDAY`S FRAGRANT MORNING DAWNS,
AND SPRINGTIME`S LEFT BEHIND,
SUMMER DAYS ARE WELCOMED,
AND WE WISH FOR WARMER CLIMES.
THE GARDENS FILL WITH BLOSOMS,
GENTLE WINDS BLOW FROM THE SOUTH,
MAYDAY WHISPERS SUMMERTIME,
AND THE COCOO`S TUNE CHANTS OUT
WILDBIRDS WHISTLE MELODIES,
BENEATH THE SUMMER SKIES
SWALLOWS DRIFT IN MAYTIME SUN
BRINGING WARMTH TO OUR LIVES.
