We see her dancing in a ring,

And hear the blessed creature sing—

A creature full of gentleness,

Rejoicing in our happiness.’

Then pluck’d I a wreath with many a gem

Burning—a flowery diadem—

And through the wicket, with a glide

I slipped, and sat me down beside

The youngest of those infants fair,

And wreath’d the blossoms in her hair.
