THE STAR OF MAY MORNING
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander
Edited by Alexander J Adams

On a bright Beltaine morning, I rise from my sleep,
And softly go walking where the dark is yet deep-
And the tall eastern mountain, with it’s stretch to the sky,
Casts a luminous shadow where my true love doth lie-

I follow that shadow to where morning dew gleams,
I’ll ne’er wake my love from her innocent dreams-
Rather stand there in silence and watch for a while,
For I’d ne’er wake her slumber, or trouble that smile-

But passion soon takes me, my will then turns weak,
And ever so gently, I kiss her fair cheek-
So soft it that touch, she knows not I suppose,
And upon her side pillow, I place one thorn-less rose

The morning makes rainbows upon the white walls,
Far off in the forest, the summer lark calls-
Though the sun has now risen, one star I yet see,
‘Tis the Star of May Morning, my true love to me-

She’s the Star of May Morning, my true love to me-
