May we know in May today
About the Mayflower long ago
May we show and again display
How America began to grow
You can be certain I give respect
To those sacrificing Puritans
They were determined they did not neglect
Overcoming each hurdle and burden
It may seem odd where they arrived
When they anchored at Cape Cod
And on that sod they survived
Putting their faith and hope in God
To read what's written let's not subtract
They wanted freedom in their religion
Their mission revealed in the Compact
Declared boldly their position
To those members we owe a debt
Their covenant with God was an ember
May we remember and never forget How they arrived that late November
