3Once at daybreak the Fire-god arose,

4And his eyes, glancing down on the snows

5Of the earth as it lay still in dreams,

6Traced a dimly discernible vision

7In the pale opalesque indecision

8Of Morning's first tremulous gleams.

12'T was the Maid of the Spring who awoke,

13And, undraping her snow-ermined cloak,

14Trembled forth in a garment of green;

15While, at sight of her beauty enslaving,

16He who watched felt the pulse-quickened craving

17Of love that was sudden and keen.

19V.

21Through the clouds that the winds left ajar

22Oft he followed her then from afar

23As she threaded the woodlands and glades,

24Till he marked how a Sunbeam came shining

25Where she strolled with her garlands entwining

26The aisles of the tree-colonnades.
