“As flowers turn their faces to the sun,

So on our flight with hungry eyes they gaze,

And, as we shaped our course, this, that way run,

With mad-cap pleasure, or hand-clasp’d amaze:

Sweet in the air a mild-toned music plays,

And progresses through its own labyrinth;

Buds gather’d from the green spring’s middle-days,

They scatter’d⁠—daisy, primrose, hyacinth⁠—

Or round white columns wreathed from capital to plinth.
