Here you will find the Poem [Month of] May of poet Hilaire Belloc
This is the laughing-eyed amongst them all: My lady's month. A season of young things. She rules the light with harmony, and brings The year's first green upon the beeches tall. How often, where long creepers wind and fall Through the deep woods in noonday wanderings, I?ve heard the month, when she to echo sings, I've heard the month make merry madrigal. How often, bosomed in the breathing strong Of mosses and young flowerets, have I lain And watched the clouds, and caught the sheltered song - Which it were more than life to hear again - Of those small birds that pipe it all day long Not far from Marly by the memoried Seine.
