As if seeking its kindred where bright they lie,

Set in the blue of the summer sky.

Come away, under arching boughs we'll float,

Making those urns each a fairy boat;

We'll row them with reeds o'er the fountains free,

And a tall flag-leaf shall our streamer be.

And we'll send out wild music so sweet and low,

It shall seem from the bright flower's heart to flow;

As if 'twere a breeze with a flute's low sigh,

Or water-drops train'd into melody,
