There is May in books forever; br May will part from Spenser never; br May's in Milton, May's in Prior, br May's in Chaucer, Thomson, Dyer; br May's in all the Italian books:-- br She has old and modern nooks, br Where she sleeps with nymphs and elves, br In happy places they call shelves, br And will rise and dress your rooms br With a drapery thick with blooms. br Come, ye rains, then if ye will, br May's at home, and with me still; br But come rather, thou, good weather, br And find us in the fields together.
