Then gayly the eager winds run
To tell upon hillside and meadow,

With dreams Of a perfect divine;
And forth 20 the children. as merry

With bright eyes discerning the berry
A ruby mid emerald leaves.

So ripe is the treasure, and thickg
Like music their innocent laughter
Rings ont DER their frolic and haste,

Discordant through streets Of the town,
And gravely they bargain and buy them,

Yet haply remembering childhood

Less priced at the first than at last

Low down mid their leaves on the ground,

Shut in among houses OF brick,
Hear sounds, as of pipe and Of tabor,
From fields where the berries are thick
