As Dannie sang his mother and brothers joined in with him , and the other children listened in delight . `` Can you not sing it when we do ` dance round the May tree , ' Aunt Starkweather ? '' asked Anne ; `` and if Dannie will sing it over to us a few times I am sure that we can all sing it , and then Elder Haven can hear us . '' Dannie liked to sing , and he sang the little verse over and over again until all the children knew it , and until his mother said that they must all run home and make themselves tidy , and then come back , as the dance around the May-pole was to be at two o'clock . `` I do wish that Uncle Enos could see it , '' said Anne , as she put on her new white pinafore over her plaid dress , and fastened the coral beads around her neck ; `` I know well he would like to hear the song . '' `` The boats went out early and may get in in good time , '' said Aunt Martha . `` Mrs. Starkweather says that there is always a Queen of the May -- a little girl whom the other children choose to wear a wreath on her head , and whatever the Queen tells them to do they must do all May-day , '' said Anne , as she and Mrs. Stoddard walked toward the spring , `` but I do think the other children have forgotten all about it .
