| New sunshine poured in largesse fair | A |
| We shall be happy now we say | B |
| A voice just trembles through the air | A |
| And whispers May | B |

| Nay but we MUST No tiny bud | C |
| But thrills with rapture at the flood | C |
| Of fresh young life which stirs to day | B |

| Spring's last born darling clear eyed sweet | E |
| Pauses a moment with white twinkling feet | E |
| And golden locks in breezy play | B |
| Half teasing and half tender to repeat | E |
| Her song of May | B |
| - | |
| Ah month of hope all promised glee | F |
| All merry meanings lie in thee | F |
| Surely no cloud can daunt thy day | B |
| The ripe lips part in smiling mockery | F |
| And murmur May | B |
| - | |
| Still from the smile a comfort may we glean | G |
| Although our must be's shall be's idle seem | H |
| Close to our hearts one little word we lay | B |
| We may not be as happy as we dream | H |
| But then we may | B |
