Our May Queen

Our May Queen is one for the children—
She leads them nor needs to compel;
“She is kind,” they say, “is our sister;”
Ah! that is a sovereign spell.

Our May Queen is one for the lovers
They are faithful and never rebel;
They look, they are subjects, they whisper
“Her charm is a beauty spell!”

Our May Queen is one for the elders—
They smile and they say—“It is well;
We reigned or we worshipped like this once
When Time's was a powerless spell.”

Our May Queen is queen over many,
The reason is easy to tell;
One learns with a little service
She rules with a loving spell.
