Ill befal the yellow of the flaring hours !Buttercups, that Avill be seen,Whether we will see or no;Others, too, of lofty mien;They have done as worldlings do,Taken praise that should be thine,Little, humble Celandine! Prophet of delight and mirth,Ill-requited upon earth;Herald of a mighty band,Of a joyous train ensuing,Serving at my hearts command,Tasks that are no tasks renewing,I will sing, as doth behove,Hymns in praise of what I love!
