There where they laughed and nodded and pondered

Through the beautiful hours of June;

Bluebell-dark were the dreams she squandered

On the gold and green of noon.

And the wild white hyacinths, wondering, heard her,

Suddenly caught by her starry song;

Gave no more ear to the woodland bird, or

Heeded the wild bee throng,

Or laughed with delight of the sunbright verdure

Of fern they had loved so long.
