Farewell to May

Hymnal: Laudis Corona #84 (1880) First Line: Oh! must I leave our Lady's altar Lyrics: 1 Oh, must I leave our Lady's altar, Where oft I've found such sweet delight? My sad adieux must I now falter, Must joys so pure now wing their flight? Chorus: Farewell, sweet month, sweet month of flow'rs. Farewell, lov'd shrine, thou dear retreat; But ere have fled these happy hours. My heart I'll leave at Mary's feet. Farewell, farewell. 2 How sweet to sing my Mother's praises, And breathe to her my loving sighs! So fondly on me then she gazes, So softly beam her star-like eyes. [Chorus] 3 Ah! while my love to thee I'm singing, To die this hour would be so sweet, Like those spring flowers, perfumes flinging, That bloom and languish at thy feet? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! must I leave our Lady's altar]
