was late at eve the first of May, A night in May 'twas time for love. A love lure sang the turtle-dove, Where scented pine groves stretched away. The tranquil moss sighed love's lament; Love's sorrow shammed the blooming tree. A nightingale sang love's melody, While a rose replied with love's sweet scent.
