Reading edition

I

The message of April to May

That May sends on into June

And June gives out to July

For birthday boon;

II

The delight of the dawn in the day,

The delight of the day in the noon,

The delight of a song in a sigh

That breaks the tune;

III

The secret of passing away,

The cost of the change of the moon,

None knows it with ear or with eye,

But all will soon.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
