FOL DOL DO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: FOL, DOL, DO, AND A SOUTH WIND A-BLOWING O
Last Line: IN MERRY MERRY MONTH OF MAY.
Fol, dol, do, and a south wind a-blowing O,
Fol, dol, do, and green growths a-growing O,
Fol, dol, do, and the heart inside me knowing O,
'Tis merry merry month of May.

Fol, dol, do, shrill chanticleer's a-crowing O,
Fol, dol, do, and the mower's soon a-mowing O,
O lovelier than the lilac tree, my lovely love's a-showing O,
In merry merry month of May.
