ORIOLE SONG by MARION PELTON GUILD

First Line: THE ORIOLES ARE TILTING
Last Line: WITH MAGIC OF THE MAY!
Subject(s): ORIOLES; WELLESLEY COLLEGE;
THE orioles are tilting
Among the orchard blooms;
Their wild, melodious lilting
Fills all their leafy rooms.

In still green covert lying
I thrill to what they say,
My heart with theirs replying
To magic of the May;

My dreams atilt and flying
Those golden flights outvying,
To meet you, love, and greet you
With music of the May;
To find you, love, and bind you
With magic of the May!
