The silence of the dark-plumed boughs

And glimmering deeps of peace,

Save only the cool spurt of waters

That, from a myriad unseen jets,

Fretted the crystal airs of morning,

And fell in frolic showers

Of twinkling, rainbow drops,

That plashed in unseen basins;

And through the blaze of almond-orchards,

Tremulous with blossom
