The word May is a perfumed word.
It is an illuminated initial.
It means youth, love, song,
and all that is beautiful in life.
                                                                     _ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Journal”

Let all thy joys be as the month of May.
                                                                  _ Francis Quarles

I have been in the meadows all the day,
And gathered there the nosegay that you see,
Singing within myself as bird or bee
When such do field-work on a morn of May.
                                                        _ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

May the blessings of MAY bring a song to your heart.
