• From the Greek by Andrew Lang
    NOW the bright crocus flames, and now
        The slim narcissus takes the rain,
    And, straying o’er the mountain’s brow,
        The daffodillies bud again.
    The thousand blossoms wax and wane
        On wold, and heath, and fragrant bough,
        But fairer than the flowers art thou,
    Than any growth of hill or plain...
