To other trees his course he wings,

And tastes the honeyed blooms that grow

Where Pampá's lucid waters flow.

See, Lakshmaṇ, see, how thickly spread

With blossoms from the trees o'erhead,

That grass the weary traveller woos

With couches of a thousand hues,

And beds on every height arrayed

With red and yellow tints are laid,

No longer winter chills the earth:
