MAY CAROL IN IMITATION OF THE OLD POETS The lark’s aloft— The wind blows soft— The merry maids are straying In open glades, ’mid ver’rous shades, To list what Love is saying. Should we be longer staying? Let sleep be chid from each dull lid, And let us go aMaying— aMaying— Let us go aMaying! The hawthorn white bursts into sight ’Mid forest’s green arraying: And perfume rare breathes on the air, Hid violets betraying. We brook no more delaying! Up— up! Away! while breaks the day! And let us go aMaying— aMaying— Let us go aMaying! We wait— we wait beside your gate— On pipe and tabor playing; With garlands, boughs, and wreathèd brows, Our chosen Queen obeying! We suffer no gainsaying! We summon you to join our crew! And let us go aMaying— aMaying— Let us go aMaying! As printed in: ''The London Society: An illustrated Magazine of light and amusing literature for the hours of relaxation''. Volume II, 1862.
