| Fair pleasant month of May | B |
| Month which we ve eager longed to see | A |
| Through many a wintry day | B |
| And now with countless budding flowers | C |
| With sunshine bright and clear | D |
| To gild the quickly fleeting hours | C |
| At length sweet month thou rt here | E |
| - | |
| But yet we do not welcome thee | A |
| Because thy genial breath | F |
| Hath power our sleeping land to free | A |
| From winter s clasp of death | F |
| Nor yet because fair flowers are springing | G |
| Beneath thy genial ray | B |
| And thousand happy birds are singing | G |
| All welcome to thee May | B |
| - | |
| No higher nobler cause have we | A |
| These bright days to rejoice | H |
| Twas God ordained that thou should st be | A |
| The loved month of our choice | H |
| It is because thou hast been given | I |
| To honor her alone | J |
| The ever gentle Queen of Heaven | I |
| The mother of God s son | I |
| - | |
| The blossoms that we joyous cull | K |
| By bank or silver stream | L |
| The fragrant hawthorn boughs we pull | M |
| Most sacred too we deem | L |
| For not amid our tresses we | A |
| Their op ning buds will twine | N |
| But garlands fair we ll weave with care | O |
| For Mary s lowly shrine | N |
| - | |
| And when the twilight shades descend | P |
| On earth so hushed and still | Q |
| And the lone night bird s soft notes blend | P |
| With breeze from glade and hill | Q |
| We seek her shrine with loving heart | R |
| And humbly kneeling there | O |
| We linger long loth to depart | R |
| From that sweet place of prayer | O |
| - | |
| Oh who can tell with what gifts rare | O |
| Our Mother will repay | B |
| Their love who honor thus with care | O |
| Her own sweet month of May | B |
| A grace for every flower they ve brought | S |
| Or Ave they have said | T |
| And ev ry pious holy thought | S |
| Shall be by her repaid | U |
