I have sat here happy in the gardens,  
Watching the still pool and the reeds  
And the dark clouds  
Which the wind of the upper air  
Tore like the green leafy boughs  
Of the divers-hued trees of late summer;  
But though I greatly delight  
In these and the water-lilies,  
That which sets me nighest to weeping  
Is the rose and white color of the smooth flag-stones,  
And the pale yellow grasses  
Among them.
