In woods with honey redolent.

In forest shades thy mighty arm

Would keep a stranger's life from harm,

And how shall Sítá think of fear

When thou, O glorious lord, art near?

Heir of high bliss, my choice is made,

Nor can I from my will be stayed.

Doubt not; the earth will yield me roots,

These will I eat, and woodland fruits;

And as with thee I wander there
