With rosy feet and fingers dewy wet,

Leaving the woods and all cool gardens gay

With tulips and the scented violet.

Gone are the wind-flower and the adder-tongue,

And the sad drooping bellwort, and no more

The snowy trilliums crowd the forest floor;

The purpling grasses are no longer young,

And summer's wide-set door

O'er the thronged hills and the broad panting earth

Lets in the torrent of the later bloom,
