Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH EIEIGJGJ| Come May with all thy flowers | A |
| Thy sweetly scented thorn | B |
| Thy cooling evening showers | A |
| The fragrant breath at morn | B |
| When May flies haunt the willow | C |
| When May buds tempt the bee | D |
| Then o'er the shining billow | C |
| My love will come to me | D |
| - | |
| From Eastern Isles she's winging | E |
| Thro' watery wilds her way | F |
| And on her cheek is bringing | E |
| The bright sun's orient ray | F |
| Oh come and court her hither | G |
| Ye breezes mild and warm | H |
| One winter's gale would wither | G |
| So soft so pure a form | H |
| - | |
| The fields where she was straying | E |
| Are blest with endless light | I |
| With zephyrs always playing | E |
| Thro' gardens always bright | I |
| Then now sweet May be sweeter | G |
| Than e'er thou'st been before | J |
| Let sighs from roses meet her | G |
| When she comes near our shore | J |
