May Is Back

Topics: classic

May is back, and You and I     Are at the stream again -     The leaves are out,     And all about     The building birds begin     To make a merry din:     May is back, and You and I     Are at the dream again.     May is back, and You and I     Lie in the grass again, -     The butterfly     Flits painted by,     The bee brings sudden fear,     Like people talking near;     May is back, and You and I     Are lad and lass again.     May is back, and You and I     Are heart to heart again, -     In God's green house     We make our vows     Of summer love that stays     Faithful through winter days;     May is back, and You and I     Shall never part again.
