Not for the world that we know,

But the lovelier world that we dream of

Dost thou, Sweet Woodruff, grow;

Not of this world is the theme of

The scent diffused

From thy bright leaves bruised;

Not in this world hast thou part or lot,

Save to tell of the dream one, forgot, forgot.

Sweet Woodruff, thine is the scent

Of a world that was wise and lowly,
