And flowers of every hue are bright.

The lotuses in close array

Their passing loveliness display,

And pard and tiger, deer and snake

Haunt every glade and dell and brake.

Those grassy spots display the hue

Of topazes and sapphires' blue,

And, gay with flowers of every dye,

With richly broidered housings vie.

What loads of bloom the high trees crown,
