May’s mildness mocks the gladdend sky
& clouds as swiftly clouds pursue
Save that no swallow cares to flye
Nor cuckoo sings the story true
Thus some few days may idly dwell
& hold the tempting season still
& tempt the early buds to swell
For lurking winters blast to kill
& many a flower on sunny slopes
That startles up the spring to see
Is doomd to loose their early hopes
& perish in their infancy
