- Sslow frOcks and fluffy frills.
Tbeir partner Is the satyr breeze
Thst smltes the oak trees knoooy Knees,
SnJ mines little haunting tune
II learned from Pan beneath the moon,
When Spring was never coy or cold,
And sll the world WAS blue and gold.
Amid the gardens dews and damps,
The tulips light their crimson lamps;
like incandeseents, row on row,
Along The winding walks they glow,
Illuminating every bed
Wttb mbent globes OF vivid red
The footllghts for the dafodils
Tbst dance IN yellow frocks and frills.
