May Day

Song on a May Morning by John Milton
 
Now the bright morning star, Day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her
The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
Hail, Bounteous May, that doth inspire
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire;
Woods and groves are of they dressing,
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing;
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

I don't think I've ever seen a hibiscus quite that full. Beautiful! The poetry too :o).

Blessings!
