As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made.
--
Ode, l. 1. Alternately, Address to the Nightingale; historically misattributed to William Shakespeare.Richard Barnfield

It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.Nathaniel Parker Willis
I hied me off to Arcady—
The month it was the month of May,
And all along the pleasant way,
The morning birds were mad with glee,
And all the flowers sprang up to see,
As I went on to Arcady.Louise Chandler Moulton
Grove of Tuoni, grove of night!
There thy bed of sand is light.
Thither my baby I lead.
Mirth and joy each long hour yields
In the Prince of Tuoni's fields
Tending the Tuonela cattle.
Mirth and joy my babe will know,
Lulled to sleep at evening glow
By the pale Tuonela maiden.
Surely joy hours will hold,
Lying in thy cot of gold,
Hearing the nightjar singing.
Grove of Tuoni, grove of peace!
There all strife and passion cease.
Distant the treacherous world.Aleksis Kivi
My merry, merry, merry roundelay
Concludes with Cupid’s curse:
They that do change old love for new,
Pray gods, they change for worse!George Peele
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
