may is mary’s month, and i
muse at that and wonder why:
her feasts follow reason
dated due to season—

candlemas, lady day;
but the lady month, may
why fasten that upon her
with a feasting in her honour?

is it only its being brighter
than the most are must delight her?
is it opportunist
and flowers finds soonest?

ask of her, the mighty mother:
her reply puts this other
question : what is spring?—
growth in every thing—

flesh and fleece, fur and feather
grass and greenworld all together;
star_eyed strawberry_breasted
throstle above her nested

cl_ster of bugle blue eggs thin
forms and warms the life within;
and bird and blossom swell
in sod or sheath or sh_ll
all things rising, all things sizing
mary sees, sympathizing
with that world of good
nature’s motherhood

their magnifying of each its kind
with delight calls to mind
how she did in her stored
magnify the lord

well but there was more than this :
spring’s universal bliss
much, had much to say
to offering mary may

when drop_of_blood_and_foam_dapple
bloom lights the orchard_apple
and thicket and thorp are merry
with silver_surfèd cherry

and azuring_over greybell makes
wood banks and brakes wash wet like lakes
and magic cuckoocall
caps, clears, and clinches all—

this ecstasy all through mothering earth
tells mary her mirth till christ’s birth
to remember and exultation
in god who was her salvation
