In early May, a poem to celebrate the lovely month of May by the Canadian poet, Bliss Carman (1861β1929).
This poem is read by Jana Elizabeth and dedicated to her lovely mother who was born on the 1st of May.
In Early May
O MY dear, the world to-day
Is more lovely than a dream!
Magic hints from far away
Haunt the woodland, and the stream
Murmurs in his rocky bed
Things that never can be said.
Starry dogwood is in flower,
Gleaming through the mystic woods.
It is beauty's perfect hour
In the wild spring solitudes.
Now the orchards in full blow
Shed their petals white as snow.
All the air is honey-sweet
With the lilacs white and red,
Where the blossoming branches meet
In an arbor overhead.
And the laden cherry trees
Murmur with the hum of bees.
All the earth is fairy green,
And the sunlight filmy gold,
Full of ecstasies unseen,
Full of mysteries untold.
Who would not be out-of-door,
Now the spring is here once more!
The End
First π Really good by the way

I kind of like this story. i like the parts when it says, spring is here once again. I like and understood the parts about the green trees and the golden sunlight. I only kinda of likes this poem because some parts are hard to understand. I don’t understand when she says, Murmurs in his rocky bed, Things that never can be said.
