Lyrics
(Folk song, adapted by Beth Thompson)
Lovely May, lovely May
See the blossoms of the day
“Come you all, come you all,”
Hear the flowers call.
Sparkles now the sunny dale,
Fragrant is the flowery vale,
Song of bird, song of bird
In the grove is heard.
Lovely May, lovely May
Makes outdoors so nice each day
Winter go, with your snow
And cold winds that blow,
There’s no sorry in the spring
With the birds upon the wing,
Song of bird, song of bird
In the grove is heard.
