Whitely to stand at the window scarce seen,

Over the garden to peer in the May-dawn

Past to the fruit-close whose pale boughs not green

Slowly reveal a fresh faintness a-flutter

White to the young grass and pink to the sky?

O, then a low call to waking we utter:

"Bluth, lasses, apple-bluth spirts low and high."

Out, lasses, out, to the apple-garth hasten—

Nay, never tarry to net your glad hair—

Here are no lovers your kissed shoes to fasten
