Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 59
There is but one May in the year, And sometimes May is wet and cold ; There is but one May in the yearBefore the year grows old. Yet though it be the chilliest May, With least of sun and most of showers, Its wind and dew, its night and day,Bring up the flowers. 37 … The summer nights are shortWhere northern days are long : For hours and hours lark after larkTrills out his song. The summer days are short Where southern nights are long : Yet short the night when nightingalesTrill out their song. o 38
