An invitation to spring
The opening addresses May as someone who can bring green trees and flowers back. Let that direct appeal give the melody its purpose. Familiar words need freshness rather than exaggerated sentiment: imagine telling the story to a listener who has not heard the song before.
Find variety within the verses
Read each stanza separately and identify what the speaker wants. Try carrying one clear image through a phrase, then let the next image change the colour. Singer and pianist can agree on breathing points before joining the verses. Keep the language distinct while allowing the same musical outline to carry different thoughts.
