Scatter a perfume of pollen dust,

That mounts to the kindling soul like must;

Where the turtles each spring their loves renew—

The old, old story, “coo-roo, coo-roo,”

Mingles with the wooing note

That bubbles from the song-bird’s throat;

Where on waves of rosy light at play,

Mingle a thousand airy minions,

And drifting as on a golden bay,

The butterfly with his petal pinions,
