Glowing up at me from verdant graces;

Your rarities amaze.

The very gold-bars of the Summer Sun

May well give place to your more candent hue.

For sunshine yet, I still can seek in you;

E’en when the Orb’s illuminèd course is run.

Your damask pinions, furled about your form

Give subtle sheen and incense to the air;

Your gold-dust tongues kiss to the winds pale care

Alone for peace and pleasure were ye borne.
