From early dawn the thirtieth of AprilA
Is given up to children of the townB
And caught in trying on the festive necklaceC
By dusk it only just is settling downB
-
Like heaps of squashy berries under muslinD
The town emerges out of crimson gauzeE
Along the streets the boulevards are draggingF
Their twilight with them like a rank of dwarvesG
-
The evening world is always eve and blossomH
But this one with a sprouting of its ownI
From May day anniversaries will flowerJ
One day into a commune fully blownI
-
For long it will remain a day of shiftingF
Pre festive cleaning fanciful decorK
As once it used to be with Whitsun birchesG
Or pan Athenian fires long beforeK
-
Just so they will go on conveying actorsG
To their assembly points beat sand just soG
Pull up towards illuminated ledgesG
The plywood boards the crimson calicoG
-
Just so in threes the sailors briskly walkingF
Will skirt the grass in gardens and in parksG
The moon at nightfall sink into the pavementsG
Like a dead city or a burnt out hearthL
-
But with each year more splendid and more spreadingF
The taut beginning of the rose will bloomM
More clearly grow in health and sense of honourK
Sincerity more visibly will loomM
-
The living folksongs customs and traditionsG
Will ever spreading many petalled layN
Their scent on fields and industries and meadowsG
From early buddings on the first of MayN
-
Until the full fermented risen spiritO
Of ripened years will shoot up like the smellP
Of humid centifolia It will have toQ
Reveal itself it cannot help but tellP
