Fairmaid

The fair maid who
the first of May
goes to the field
at break of day
and bathes in the dew
of the hawthorne tree
will ever after
handsome be

-old English nursery rhyme, perhaps referring to the ancient pagan custom of young lovers spending the night in the forest or fields on Beltane Eve
