  1. That with his open hand ever brings me offerings humble.
  2. Hung up in honour mine are flowery firstlings of spring-tide,
  3. Wreaths with their ears still soft the tender stalklets a-crowning;
  4. Violets pale are mine by side of the poppy-head pallid;
  5. With the dull yellow gourd and apples sweetest of savour;
  6. Lastly the blushing grape disposed in shade of the vine-tree.
