Trees themselves are ours;

Fruits are born of flowers;

Peach, and roughest nut, were blossoms in the spring;

The lusty bee knows well

The news, and comes pell-mell,

And dances in the gloomy thicks with darksome antheming.

Beneath the very burden

Of planet-pressing ocean,

We wash our smiling cheeks in peace—a thought for meek devotion.

Tears of Phœbus—missings
