Downy gray, golden-tinged; and to glades

Where the pear blossom thickens the spray

In a night, like the snow-packed storm;

Pear, apple, almond, plum;

Not wintry now; pushing warm.

And she touched them with finger and thumb,

As the vine hook closes; she smiled,

Recounting again and again,

Corn, wine, fruit, oil! like a child,

With the meaning known to men.
