From many a holy flood beside,

From brook and fountain far and near,

From pool and river, sea and mere.

And there were honey, curd, and oil,

Parched rice and grass, the garden's spoil,

Fresh milk, eight girls in bright attire,

An elephant with eyes of fire;

And urns of gold and silver made,

With milky branches overlaid,

All brimming from each sacred flood,
