The slender snail clings to the leaf	A
Gray on its silvered underside	B
And slowly slowlier than the snail with brief	A
Bright steps whose ripening touch foretells the sheaf	A
Her warm hands berry dyed	B
Comes down the tanned Noontide	B
	-
The pungent fragrance of the mint	B
And pennyroyal drench her gown	C
That leaves long shreds of trumpet blossom tint	B
Among the thorns and everywhere the glint	B
Of gold and white and brown	C
Her flowery steps waft down	C
	-
The leaves like hands with emerald veined	B
Along her way try their wild best	B
To reach the jewel whose hot hue was drained	B
From some rich rose that all the June contained	B
The butterfly soft pressed	B
Upon her sunny breast	B
	-
Her shawl the lace like elder bloom	D
She hangs upon the hillside brake	E
Smelling of warmth and of her breast's perfume	D
And lying in the citron colored gloom	D
Beside the lilied lake	E
She stares the buds awake	E
	-
Or with a smile through watery deeps	F
She leads the oaring turtle's legs	F
Or guides the crimson fish that swims and sleeps	F
From pad to pad from which the young frog leaps	F
And to its nest's green eggs	F
The bird that pleads and begs	F
	-
Then 'mid the fields of unmown hay	G
She shows the bees where sweets are found	B
And points the butterflies at airy play	G
And dragonflies along the water way	G
Where honeyed flowers abound	B
For them to flicker 'round	B
	-
Or where ripe apples pelt with gold	B
Some barn around which coned with snow	H
The wild potato blooms she mount its old	B
Mossed roof and through warped sides the knots have holed	B
Lets her long glances glow	H
Into the loft below	H
	-
To show the mud wasp at its cell	I
Slenderly busy swallows too	B
Packing against a beam their nest's clay shell	I
And crouching in the dark the owl as well	I
With all her downy crew	B
Of owlets gray of hue	B
	-
These are her joys and until dusk	J
Lounging she walks where reapers reap	K
From sultry raiment shaking scents of musk	J
Rustling the corn within its silken husk	J
And driving down heav'n's deep	K
White herds of clouds like sheep	K
