They loll in the light like a cloud of perfume j They gleam as they s\ving like the silk in the loom; Oh, rare on their vstems tha^ uprise through the grass* They sway and they lean on the breezes that pass; The breezes grow drunken and dazed with perfume, And linger, caressing the blossoms of doom. And there, midst the color and odor is she ? ; v.
