Hilaire Belloc - MayHilaire Belloc - May
Work rating: Low


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.
