/ Above her, pearl and rose the heavens lay: / Around her, flowers flattered earth with gold, / Or down the path in insolence held sway -- / Like cavaliers who ride the king's highway -- / Scarlet and buff, within a garden old.
/ Beyond the hills, faint-heard through belts of wood, / Bells, Sabbath-sweet, swooned from some far-off town: / Gamboge and gold, broad sunset colors strewed / The purple west as if, with God imbued, / Her mighty palette Nature there laid down.
