And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who, even in pure and vestal modesty,

And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep
And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep
And I will purge thy mortal grossness so
That thou shalt like an airy spirit go. (art Edith Nesbit, 1896)

And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves, when he did sing:
To his music, plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.'
