Helen Hunt Jackson - A Calendar of Sonnets: May

Helen Hunt Jackson - A Calendar of Sonnets: May

O Month when they who love must love and wed! br Were one to go to worlds where May is naught, br And seek to tell the memories he had brought br From earth of thee, what were most fitly said? br I know not if the rosy showers shed br From apple-boughs, or if the soft green wrought br In fields, or if the robin's call be fraught br The most with thy delight. Perhaps they read br Thee best who in the ancient time did say br Thou wert the sacred month unto the old: br No blossom blooms upon thy brightest day br So subtly sweet as memories which unfold br In aged hearts which in thy sunshine lie, br To sun themselves once more before they die.
