And breezes will bring puffs of hawthorn scent

Down Devon lanes; over the purple moors

Lav'rocks will carol; and on the village greens

Around the maypole, while the moon hangs low,

The boys and girls of England merrily swing

In country footing through the flowery dance.'"

—Alfred Noyes (Drake).
