Yes, her sweets will rifle all her brightest flowers—

Of her wealth a trifle, they shall soon be ours;

When the birds are singing welcome to the May,

When the flowers are springing, we’ll be there to-day.

Duet.

Just, just before the hay-time, birds begin to sing,

Wandering in the May-time, welcome to the Spring;

Just before the hay-time, sweet it is to rove,

Wandering in the May-time, through the leafy grove,

Wandering in the May-time, through the leafy grove.
