May Bride Villanelle
May bride of Spring sheds shades of night
And dons a dress of Emerald green
To greet the Sun her Summer Knight
Now winter’s chills are put to flight
The field no more in frosted sheen
May bride of Spring sheds shades of night
The humble Hawthorne blossom bright
Like snow upon the hedge is seen
And greets the Sun her Summer Knight
Each day the dawn brings earlier light
And nature bares a roseate mien
May bride of Spring sheds shades of night
She wakes now early, not to sleight
All gracious nature’s bounty gleaned
And greet the Sun her Summer Knight
Her star now nearing apex height
He bows before his beauteous Queen
May bride of Spring sheds shades of night
To greet the Sun her Summer Knight
