The World On The First Of May

 In celebration of May Day as well as ......


.... acknowledging my own 79th May Day with my photo of an ornamental pear tree....

....and a poem by Sara Teasdale. 💛

May Day

A delicate fabric of bird song 
Floats in the air, 
The smell of wet wild earth 
Is everywhere. 

Red small leaves of the maple 
Are clenched like a hand, 
Like girls at their first communion 
The pear trees stand. 

Oh I must pass nothing by 
Without loving it much, 
The raindrop try with my lips, 
The grass with my touch; 

For how can I be sure 
I shall see again 
The world on the first of May 
Shining after the rain?
