This wondrous store of rarest fruits?

Whose are these calm and cool retreats,

These silver homes and golden seats,

And lattices of precious stones?

Who is the happy lord that owns

The golden trees, of rarest scent,

Neath loads of fruit and blossom bent?

Who, strong in holy zeal, had power

To deck the streams with richest dower,

And bade the lilies bright with gold
