And rapture of rose and daffodil glories

Where the lone stream wandereth long;

And I think the whole of the Druids' lore is

Known to the bluebell throng.

For they say that a sky-bee wandered of old

From her island hive in the Pleiades,

Winging o'er star-strewn realms untold,

And the brink of star-foamed seas—

Thighs beladen with dust of gold,

As is the wont of bees.
