That clad her body seemed with nought

But blossoms of the summer-tide,

That wreathed her, limbs and breast and side.

And, stepping towards him daintily,

A basket in her hand had she.

And as she went, from head to feet,

Surely was she most dainty-sweet.

Love floated round her, and her eyes

Gazed from her fairness glad and wise;

But babbling-loud the guests were grown;
