Rose pogonias

1. a saturated meadow,

2. sun-shaped and jewel small,

3. a circle scarcely wider

4. than the tress around were tall

5. where the winds were quite excluded

6. and the air was stifling sweet

7. with the breath of many flowers,

8. a temple of heat.

9. there we bowed us in the burning,

10. as the sun's right worship is,

11. to pick where none could miss them

12. a thousand orchises:

13. for thought the grass was scatterd,

14. yet every second spear

15. seemed tipped with wings of color,

16. that tinged the atmosphere
