HEBE'S here, May is here!
The air is fresh and sunny;
And the miser-bees are busy
Hoarding golden honey.

See the knots of buttercups,
And the purple pansies --
Thick as these, within my brain,
Grow the wildest fancies.

Let me write my songs to-day.
Rhymes with dulcet closes --
Four-line epics one might hide
In the hearts of roses.
