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!
