Out with the May-time blossoms!
How sweet is the May-time song,
Far from the griefs and sorrows and all of the cries of wrong!
II.
Out with the May-time blossoms, where the pleasures dance the light,
And Love is a laughing fairy that kisses the lilies white!
III.
Out with the May-time blossoms, where the mocking-bird is king,
And the songs of the thrush in chorus with all of the laughters ring!
IV.
Out with the May-time blossoms!
For the lilies lead the way,
And the roses blush their greetings and Love is the Queen of May!
V.
And the breezes whisper "Welcome" and sweet is the vale and stream!
And life with the rose and lily is only a lover's dream!
