Blossoms of a natural wax

The brown mountain-fairies left.

We on that parched precipice,

Stretched beneath the chestnuts' burrs,

Breathed the balsam of the firs,

Felt the blue sky like a kiss.

Soft that heaven; stainless as

The grand woodlands lunging on,

Wound majestic in the sun,

Or as our devotion was!
