Many thanks for this on a rainy, cold day in Midwest America! Too wretched even, to go outdoors and fetch, or even enjoy, our floods of daffodils. Do you know, by any chance, an old ballad, parts of which I have forgotten; probably 19th century?

"Awake, awake my pretty, pretty maid/Out of your drowsy dream

And step into your. dairy below/ and fetch me a bowl of cream.

A branch of May I bring to you/ 'Tis neither fine nor grand

'Tis nothing but a sprout/But is well budded out by the work of our good Lord's hand etc"

That may be wrong, but it was a pretty little May song.
