¶Lyrics / Text

Ah! my heart is weary, waiting, Waiting for the May! Waiting for the pleasant rambles, Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, With the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy, dewy way, Ah! My heart is weary, Waiting for the May! My heart is faint with longing, Longing for the May! Longing to escape from study To the young face, fair and ruddy, And the thousand charms belonging To the summer, summer day. Ah! My heart is weary, Waiting for the May! Dejected, sad and weary, Waiting for the May. Spring goes by, with wasted warnings, Moonlit ev'nings, sunbright mornings! Summer comes! yet, dark and dreary, Life still ebbs, still ebbs away. Man is ever weary, Waiting for the May!
