Deep powders smothered quince and peach;

Eyes dogwoods with a thousand eyes;

Teaches each sod how to be wise

With twenty wild-flowers for one weed;

And kisses germs that they may seed.

In purest purple and sweet white

Treads up the happier hills of light;

Bloom, cloudy-borne, song in her hair,

Long dew-drops her pale fingers fair:

Big wind-retainers, and the rains
