On This Beautiful Last Friday Morning In May


Now the bright morning-star, Day's harbinger,

Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her

The flowery May, who from her green lap throws

The yellow cowslip and pale primrose.

Alphonse Mucha
(1860-1939)
Czech painter


Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire

Mirth, and youth, and warm desire!

Woods and groves are thy dressing;

Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.

Thus we salute thee with our early song,

And welcome thee, and wish thee long.



"On A May Morning"
(1660)
John Milton
(1608-1674)
English poet and writer
