• From the Greek by William M. Hardinge

    NOW will I weave white violets, daffodils
        With myrtle spray,
    And lily bells that trembling laughter fills,
        And the sweet crocus gay:
    With these blue hyacinth, and the lover’s rose
        That she may wear—
    My sun-maiden—each scented flower that blows,
        Upon her scented hair.
