May Day Play
Around the may pole dancers go
Swaying to and fro
No clothes upon their skin they wear
Pale white, and bare
Laughing and joking with impish delight
From afar, quite a sight
Music plays upon the gusting wind
Fairies appear as a friend
Stopping the dance and staring hard
At the great fairy bard
Head held high and harp on cheek
Mouth opens, to speak
A song comes from deep in his chest
Captivated, the humans rest
He speaks with confidence loud and strong
Of days, long since gone
As he speaks the wheel does turn
The humans begin to yearn
When suddenly the fairies vanish
As if by magic.
The humans look around the sky
The moon shines so high
The day long spent and spent it well
Under a fairy spell.
