Till soft-shod June will track it, like a hound

Scents the lone covert where the wild deer feed.

Then from an ample mint, with lavish hand,

In every field, by every fountain-side,

She'll scatter gold-bits round her far and wide,

In flower cups o'er all the fragrant land.

Wherever butter-flowers and wild daisies blow,

You'll mark her presence in the green lush grasses;

You'll hear her blithely singing as she passes

On sunny uplands where gold violets grow.
