And in the warm hedge grew lush eglantine,

Green cowbind and the moonlight-color’d May,

And cherry blossoms, and white cups, whose wine

Was the bright dew yet drain’d not by the day;

And wild roses, and ivy serpentine,

With its dark buds and leaves, wandering astray,

And flowers azure, black, and streak’d with gold;

Fairer than any waken’d eyes behold.

And nearer to the river’s trembling edge

There grew broad flag-flowers, purple prankt with white,
