When tulips bloom in Union Square, / And timid breaths of vernal air / Go wandering down the dusty town, / Like children lost in Vanity Fair; / When every long, unlovely row / Of westward houses stands aglow, / And leads the eyes to sunset skies / Beyond the hills where green trees grow; / Then weary seems the street parade, / And weary books, and weary trade: / I'm only wishing to go a-fishing; / For this the month of May was made.
