english may - john ireland lyrics

Loading...

would god your health were as this month of may
should be, were this not england, * and your face
abroad, to give the gracious sunshine grace
and laugh beneath the budding hawth*rn*spray
but here the hedgerows pine from green to grey
while yet may’s lyre is tuning, and her song
is weak in shade that should in sun be strong;
and your pulse springs not to so faint a lay

if in my life be breath of italy
would god that i might yield it all to you!
so, when such grafted warmth had burgeoned through
the languor of your maytime’s hawth*rn*tree
my spirit at rest should walk unseen and see
the garland of your beauty bloom anew
