There forever, by day and night,

Is naught but pleasance and love’s delight;

Daily, the Genii of the flowers

Shade with beauty a hundred bowers;

Nightly, the Gnomes of precious stones

Emblazon and light a hundred thrones;

And the Elves of the field, so swift and mute,

Bring wine and honey and luscious fruit;

And the Sylphs of the air, at noontide, cool

The depths of each bower and vestibule;
