## The words

All the world awakes today To the music of  
the May. Bird and bee and stream are one In  
harmonious orison. In your beauteous,  
beauteous youthful eyes Love lies dreaming  
lazi- ly; When he stirs, as will be soon,  
Maiden, may I set the tune?  
Such a moving merry number Will I use to wake  
his slumber, Our two hearts will trip a measure  
Full of wild uncounted pleasure,  
Our two hearts will trip a measure Full of wild  
uncounted pleasure  
’Tis the very time and place For such a  
wakening to grace; All the world awakes to  
day To the music of the May, To the music of  
the May, All the world awakes today,  
All the world awakes today, So with love we’ll  
crown the May.
