I see the branches bending low

Beneath the flowers and fruit they show.

A soft air from the forest springs,

Fresh from the odorous grass, and brings

A spicy fragrance as it flees

O'er the ripe fruit of Pippal trees.

See, here and there around us high

Piled up in heaps cleft billets lie,

And holy grass is gathered, bright

As strips of shining lazulite.
