Gathered up for her footing fleet.

As one that had toil of her own

She followed the lines of wheat

Tripping straight through the field, green blades,

To the groves of olive gray,

Downy-gray, golden-tinged: and to glades

Where the pear-blossom thickens the spray

In a night, like the snow-packed storm:

Pear, apple, almond, plum:

Not wintry now: pushing, warm!
