| The gentle wind just lifts the head | K |
| Of many a columbine | L |
| And taken from their rocky bed | K |
| They in our wreaths shall twine | L |
| Saxifrage so small and sweet | M |
| Grows in plenty at our feet | M |
| From the grass we gather up | N |
| Golden bright the buttercup | N |

| Now for the trailing evergreen | O |
| That in the woodland springs | P |
| And we will crown our May day queen | O |
| With buds this fair month brings | P |
| Merriest of all the year | Q |
| Is the day we welcome here | R |
| We will sing and dance away | E |
| In our glee this long May day | E |
