First of May

Okay, so I missed it. Yesterday was reading day, and the pizza for library student assistants and a morning meeting and...yada yada...

but here are the lyrics of Jonathan Coulton's "First of May." Here is a youtube video of Jonathan Coulton singing "First of May." Here is a youtube video of "Lusty Month of May" from the musical "Camelot." Here is Kenneth Branagh in "Much Ado About Nothing."

Here is an article on International Worker's Day (May 1 is not just about pleasure)

And finally:

Beauteous May by John Milton

Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
The flow'ry May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
Hail, beauteous May, that dost inspire
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire;
Woods and groves are of thy dressing,
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

Blessed Be!

Edit: I apparently missed one. According to the Women and Spirituality site, May is the month of the Virgin Mary, as well
