I know these things, yet hold it little blame

To know them not, though in their proud array,

The flowers advance to make the world so gay.

Ah, what a change! The things I know by name

Look unfamiliar all, and, like a flame,

The roses burn upon the hedge to-day.

The grass is velvet. There are pearls thereon,

And golden signs, and braid that doth appear

Made for a bridal. This is fairy gear
