Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIIJIKI LMIMNIMI MMOMPQIQ| Oh the merry May has pleasant hours | A |
| And dreamily they glide | B |
| As if they floated like the leaves | C |
| Upon a silver tide | B |
| The trees are full of crimson buds | D |
| And the woods are full of birds | E |
| And the waters flow to music | F |
| Like a tune with pleasant words | E |
| - | |
| The verdure of the meadow land | G |
| Is creeping to the hills | H |
| The sweet blue bosom'd violets | I |
| Are blowing by the rills | I |
| The lilac has a load of balm | J |
| For every wind that stirs | I |
| And the larch stands green and beautiful | K |
| Amid the sombre firs | I |
| - | |
| There's perfume upon every wind | L |
| Music in every tree | M |
| Dews for the moisture loving flowers | I |
| Sweets for the sucking bee | M |
| The sick come forth for the healing South | N |
| The young are gathering flowers | I |
| And life is a tale of poetry | M |
| That is told by golden hours | I |
| - | |
| If 'tis not a true philosophy | M |
| That the spirit when set free | M |
| Still lingers about its olden home | O |
| In the flower and the tree | M |
| It is very strange that our pulses thrill | P |
| At the tint of a voiceless thing | Q |
| And our hearts yearn so with tenderness | I |
| In the beautiful time of Spring | Q |
