[Rosy maiden Winifred]

Rosy maiden Winifred,
With a milkpail on her head,
Tripping through the corn,
While the dew lies on the wheat
In the sunny morn.
Scarlet shepherd's-weatherglass
Spreads wide open at her feet
As they pass;

40

Cornflowers give their almond smell
While she brushes by,
And a lark sings from the sky
“All is well.”
