Hers is a sumptuous simplicity

Within the fair Republic of her flowers,

Where you may see her standing hours on hours,

Breast-deep in gold, soft-holding up a bee

To her hushed ear; or sitting under bowers

Of greenery,

A butterfly a-tilt upon her knee;

Or, lounging on her hip,

Dancing a cricket on her finger-tip.
