In her fulness of wealth that might not be amended;

But this is the harvest and the garnering season,

And the leaf and the blossom in the ripe fruit are blended.

It sprang without sowing, it grew without heeding,

Ye knew not its name and ye knew not its measure,

Ye noted it not mid your hope and your pleasure;

There was pain in its blossom, despair in its seeding,

But daylong your bosom now nurseth its treasure.

Enter before the curtain LOVE clad as an image-maker.

LOVE
