MAY DAY MUSINGS

Wreaths  for the May! for happy Spring
Today shall all her dowry bring
The love of kind, the joy, the grace,
Hymen of element and race,
Knowing well to celebrate
With song and hue and star and state,
With tender light and youthful cheer,
The spousals of the new-born year.
Lo love’s inundation poured
Over space and race abroad

Excerpt from May-Day by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1867)


Happy May Day!
