## The words

Swallows soar in the blue, Butterflies dance  
on the green, Roses are blushing the garden  
through, With lilies laughing between,  
And bowers long stripp’d by the blast Have  
leap’d into leaf at last, And the whole earth  
is shouting, “A- way with all doubting!  
The winter is over and past,  
The winter is over and past.”  
No pale face presses the pane,  
Open the casements start To the breeze that is  
balm to the burning brain, Surcease to the  
stricken heart,  
While out of the Maybush white The blackbird  
lilts with de light, “All melancholy Is  
folly, folly, When the June she is glowing  
bright,  
When the June she is glowing bright.”  
March was a hoyden rude, April a flirt  
un- steadied,  
May a melting maid to be woo’d. But June is a  
bride new wedded. Hush, oh, hush and hark For  
the nightingale and the lark Link in her  
praise Their passionate lays Between the dawn  
and the dark,  
Between the dawn and the dark.
