Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Maypole

Hawthorne: "Bright were the days at Merry Mount, when the Maypole was the banner staff of that gay colony! They who reared it, should their banner be triumphant, were to pour sunshine over New England's rugged hills, scatter flower seeds through the soil." https://americanliterature.com/author/nathaniel-hawthorne/short-story/the-maypole-of-merry-mount
