Your richest rose O Dawn | B |
To greet sweet Summer her who clothed in light | A |
Leads Earth's best hours on | C |
Hark how the wild birds of the woods | D |
Throat it within the dewy solitudes | D |
The brook sings low and soft | E |
The trees make song | F |
As from her heaven aloft | G |
Comes blue eyed Summer like a girl along | F |
- | |
II | H |
- | |
And as the Day her lover leads her in | I |
How bright his beauty glows | D |
How red his lips that ever try to win | I |
Her mouth's delicious rose | D |
And from the beating of his heart | J |
Warm winds arise and sighing thence depart | J |
And from his eyes and hair | K |
The light and dew | L |
Fall round her everywhere | K |
And Heaven above her is an arch of blue | L |
- | |
III | H |
- | |
Come to the forest or the treeless meadows | D |
Deep with their hay or grain | M |
Come where the hills lift high their thrones of shadows | D |
Where tawny orchards reign | M |
Come where the reapers whet the scythe | N |
Where golden sheaves are heaped where berriers blythe | O |
With willow basket and with pail | P |
Swarm knoll and plain | M |
Where flowers freckle every vale | P |
And beauty goes with hands of berry stain | M |
- | |
IV | Q |
- | |
Come where the dragon flies a brassy blue | L |
Flit round the wildwood streams | D |
And sucking at some horn of honey dew | L |
The wild bee hums and dreams | D |
Come where the butterfly waves wings of sleep | R |
Gold disked and mottled over blossoms deep | R |
Come where beneath the rustic bridge | S |
The green frog cries | D |
Or in the shade the rainbowed midge | S |
Above the emerald pools with murmurings flies | D |
- | |
V | Q |
- | |
Come where the cattle browse within the brake | T |
As red as oak and strong | F |
Where far off bells the echoes faintly wake | T |
And milkmaids sing their song | F |
Come where the vine trailed rocks with waters hoary | Q |
Tell to the sun some legend or some story | Q |
Or where the sunset to the land | U |
Speaks words of gold | V |
Where ripeness walks a wheaten band | U |
Around her hair and blossoms manifold | V |
- | |
VI | Q |
- | |
Come where the woods lift up their stalwart arms | D |
Unto the star sown skies | D |
Knotted and gnarled that to the winds and storms | D |
Fling mighty rhapsodies | D |
Or to the moon repeat what they have seen | W |
When Night upon their shoulders vast doth lean | W |
Come where the dew's clear syllable | X |
Drips from the rose | D |
And where the fire flies fill | Y |
The night with golden music of their glows | D |
- | |
VII | Q |
- | |
Now while the dingles and the vine roofed glens | D |
Whisper their flowery tale | P |
Unto the silence and the lakes and fens | D |
Unto the moonlight pale | P |
Murmur their rapture let us seek her out | Z |
Her of the honey throat and peachy pout | Z |
Summer and at her feet | A2 |
The love of old | V |
Lay like a sheaf of wheat | A2 |
And of our hearts the purest gold of gold | V |
