MAY DAY REVEL in

SHERWOOD FOREST

UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE

The Wood-Sprites of SherWIOod Forest find a Throne and May-Poles under the Greenwood Tree, and wonder why these things are there. They dance around trying to see all there is to see, when in the dist.ance they see people coming. As the procession draws nearer the WoodSprites disappear, and hide behind the trees, and these are the things they see and hear,-

Crowning of a Queen Spring Song May Pole Dances Robinhood, and his merry men Pied Piper piping away The Children hear and follow Greeting the Spirits of the Forest to the Queen Shepherdess, treading a measure Milk Maids dancing with Friar Tuck A Wood Gypsy asking Alms All the Gypsies of Sherwood Forest

Villagers

Then every one joins in singing to end the final merry-making of

May Day, and they start back to the village and Forest, the May Day

Revel over.

After the last person has disappeared the Wood-Sprites come out

from their hiding places, peek around at everything once more, and

bless Sherwood Forest for another year.

Graciously I give my blessing,

Round my throne today I bind thee

With the golden chain of service.

With thy brothers linked together

Thou art mine, and mine forever.

In the beauty of the rainbow,

In the shining spears of starlight,

In the silvery beams of moonlight,

In the crimson shafts of dawning,

In the golden rays of sunlight,

In the gleam of lightning flashing,

There doth shine the light of Wisdom,

Light our sacred torch keeps burning.

Light, thyself, thy light of learning!
