The traditional flowers of May Day:
The mayflower itself, sacred and powerful, blooming on the boundary of spring and summer
Sweetly fragrant, the 'tears of the Virgin,' lucky in France and fatal if eaten
Path-maker, showing the way through spring woods with pale yellow blooms
The fairy flower, ringing silent bells beneath oak canopy
Keys of heaven, nodding heads of golden yellow on meadow slopes
Modest and fragrant, the flower of Aphrodite and spring's sweet breath
Five petals like a pentagram, the rose of May before summer's fullness
Queen of the meadow, foam-white and honey-scented in damp places
The witch-tree in bloom, white umbels with sweet and strange perfume
Promise of autumn's fruit, pink and white in the orchards
Fleeting beauty, reminding us that spring is brief and precious
Cups of color raised to the sun, the Ottoman gift to European gardens
"Come, let us go while the morning is fine,
And weave a fair garland of roses and thyme."
