The meadows green, the fallows brown,

The dreams of labour in the town;

He sings the sap, the quickened veins,

The wedding song of sun and rains

He is, the dance of children, thanks

Of sowers, shout of primrose-banks,

And eye of violets while they breathe;

All these the circling song will wreathe,

And you shall hear the herb and tree,

The better heart of men shall see,
