The primroses run down to, carrying gold;

The tangled hedgerows, where the cows push out

Impatient horns and tolerant churning mouths

’Twixt dripping ash-boughs,—hedgerows all alive

With birds and gnats and large white butterflies

Which look as if the May-flower had caught life

And palpitated forth upon the wind;

Hills, vales, woods, netted in a silver mist,

Farms, granges, doubled up among the hills;

And cattle grazing in the watered vales,
