| | | I HAVE sat here happy in the gardens, | |
| Watching the still pool and the reeds | |
| And the dark clouds | |
| Which the wind of the upper air | |
| Tore like the green leafy boughs | 5 |
| Of the divers-hued trees of late summer; | |
| But though I greatly delight | |
| In these and the water-lilies, | |
| That which sets me nighest to weeping | |
| Is the rose and white color of the smooth flag-stones, | 10 |
| And the pale yellow grasses | |
| Among them. | | | | |
