“My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one,
and come away.

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;”

And druid herons’ vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”
