“When May, with cowslip-braided locks, Walks through the land in green attire. And burns in meadow-grass the phlox His torch of purple fire: And when the punctual May arrives, With cowslip-garland on her brow, We know what once she gave our lives, And cannot give us now!” KnowsGivingMayWalksFireOur LivesLandGreenGrassLocksPurpleBrowsTorchesMeadowsGarlandsPunctualAttireMay DaySpring May Book:The Poetical Works of Bayard Taylor Source: The Poetical Works of Bayard Taylor
