Hear her anklets’ silver ring:

’Tis the swans that round her sing.

Mark the glory of her face:

’Tis the lotus lends its grace.

See the garb around her thrown;

Look and wonder at her zone.

Robes of maize her limbs enfold,

Girt with rice like shining gold.

Streams are white with silver wings

Of the swans that autumn brings.
