Among thick boughs, and leaves that guarded it.

Poor thing! I took it from its shelter for thee.

Here be some lilac heads of clover, sweet

As the breath of love: they lay amongst the hay

In a new-mown meadow, glittering in the sun.

Here are the leaves of the wild vine, that shine

Like glass without, and underneath are white

And soft as a swan's breast. There is an oak branch;

I gather'd it, because it grows at home,

And in this strange land look'd as sad and loving
