“I sing of brooks and blossomes, birds and bowers:
Of April, May, of June, and July-flowers......
I sing of time's trans-shifting; and I write
How roses first came red and lilies white.
I write of groves, of twilights [OMITTED]
[OMITTED] I sing, and ever shall
Of Heaven, and hope to have it after all.”
Herrick: “Hesperides” (1648.)
