- It was the charming month of May,
- When all the flow’rs were fresh and gay.
- One morning, by the break of day,
- The youthful, charming Chloe—
- From peaceful slumber she arose,
- Girt on her mantle and her hose,
- And o’er the flow’ry mead she goes—
- The youthful, charming Chloe.
- Chorus:
- Lovely was she by the dawn,
- Youthful Chloe, charming Chloe,
- Tripping o’er the pearly lawn,
- The youthful, charming Chloe.
- The feather’d people you might see
- Perch’d all around on every tree,
- In notes of sweetest melody
- They hail the charming Chloe;
- Till, painting gay the eastern skies,
- The glorious sun began to rise,
- Outrival’d by the radiant eyes
- Of youthful, charming Chloe.
- Chorus
