Its magnificent bouquet of pink and pearl
Over that broad-wheeled wagon!
In vain did the loftier dog-wood
Arch his blossoms of creamy silver,
Both forming a triumphal arch,
Worthy a Roman general in his most glorious days,
Over that broad-wheeled wagon.
On did the wagon plough,
Staying for nothing, and crushing still,
Oh, that broad-wheeled wagon!
