MAY IS BACK by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE

First Line: MAY IS BACK, AND YOU AND I
Last Line: SHALL NEVER PART AGAIN.

MAY is back, and You and I
Are at the stream again --
The leaves are out,
And all about
The building birds begin
To make a merry din:
May is back, and You and I
Are at the dream again.

May is back, and You and I
Lie in the grass again, --
The butterfly
Flits painted by,
The bee brings sudden fear,
Like people talking near:
May is back, and You and I
Are lad and lass again.

May is back, and You and I
Are heart to heart again, --
In God's green house
We make our vows
Of summer love that stays
Faithful through winter days:
May is back, and You and I
Shall never part again.
