From which sweet waters bubble up.

A garden walled with ilex-trees

And topped with blue, white clouds between

Save where the glossed leaves’ twinkling green

Is stirred by some soft-footed breeze

A place apart, a watered glade,

Where sin and sorrow have not been,

And earth’s complaint grows hushed within

Its greening aisles of sacred shade.

The circling arms, the flower face,
