The Charming Month of May


 * It was the charming month of May,
 * When all the flow’rs were fresh and gay.
 * One morning, by the break of day,
 * The youthful, charming Chloe—
 * From peaceful slumber she arose,
 * Girt on her mantle and her hose,
 * And o’er the flow’ry mead she goes—
 * The youthful, charming Chloe.


 * Chorus:
 * Lovely was she by the dawn,
 * Youthful Chloe, charming Chloe,
 * Tripping o’er the pearly lawn,
 * The youthful, charming Chloe.


 * The feather’d people you might see
 * Perch’d all around on every tree,
 * In notes of sweetest melody
 * They hail the charming Chloe;
 * Till, painting gay the eastern skies,
 * The glorious sun began to rise,
 * Outrival’d by the radiant eyes
 * Of youthful, charming Chloe.


 * Chorus
