Passing of May

Here goes the hours
Perfumed by blossoms
Spring’s last dawn devoured

Here goes the days
When the sun and rains
Battle in afternoon skies

Here goes the times
When Winter’s tears
Decked the world in green

Here goes the moments
Flora now fleeing
The solstice draws ever closer

Farewell, fair May
Fair may you be well
May you be well and gone

Adue, May’s dew
Doing may cease
So cease doing and go

So long, long May
Longing may still bare
Forebear no more and away

Goodbye, good May
Good may come by and by
But by and by you must leave
