Coming the rose: and unaware a cry

Springs in her bosom for odours and for colour,

Covert and the nightingale; she knows not why.

* * * * *

Kerchiefed head and chin she darts between her tulips,

Streaming like a willow gray in arrowy rain:

Some bend beaten cheek to gravel, and their angel

She will be; she lifts them, and on she speeds again.

Black the driving raincloud breasts the iron gate-way:

She is forth to cheer a neighbour lacking mirth.
