And drowsy winds are laden with perfume;

In village street, in grove and sheltered glen

The happy warblers set the air atune.

Each swaying motion of the bud-sweet trees

Scatters pale, fragrant petals everywhere;

Reveals the tempting nectar cups to bees

That gild their thighs with pollen. Here and there

The cunning spoilers roam, and dream and sip

The honey-dew from chalices of gold;

The brimming cups are drained from lip to lip
