Cream-cups, butter-cups,

Dandelions and sedges;

Blackbirds in the poplar row,

Sparrows in the hedges;

Fruit-buds in the orchard

Swelling with the rain;

All the close-fed pasture-lands

Growing green again.

Poppies on the river-bluff

Soon will wake from sleeping;

Home along the foothills

Woolly clouds a-creeping.
