Full Lyrics
Brightly the sunbeams sparkle
Over the waving trees,
Softly the shadows darken
Under the whispering leaves.
Hark! how the birds are singing
Merry and sweet and gay.
Hark! how their notes are thrilling
Ever a welcome to May.
Beautiful May, beautiful May,
Chasing the clouds away,
Beautiful May, beautiful May,
Sunny and bright and gay.
Blossoms and buds are blushing
Where ere the sunbeams gleam,
Softly the skies are flushing,
Waking from winters dream.
Hark! to the glad awaking
Greeting the newborn day,
Darkness, it’s flight is taking,
Smiling a welcome to May.
Beautiful May, beautiful May,
Chasing the clouds away,
Beautiful May, beautiful May,
Sunny and bright and gay.
