MAY DAY IS COMING
Although we have no real May Day here, I think this verse is so pretty we might adopt it for our coming spring time. Silver ‘stitchery, Elfin witchery, Sew up the seams of my Lady’s Smock! Quick, and begin. it! Don’t waste a minute! What is the time by the Dandy’s clock ? Robin’s raggedy, Torn and jaggedy, Billy’s buttons want tightening up; Waken, you lazy, Sleepy-eyed Daisy, Polish your petals, O Buttereup! Marshy Marigold, Every bud unfold! . Hawthorn, spread all your ledges SNOW } Orchis! Celandine! Meadows, gold and green! May Day is coming! Didn’t rou know ? *
