With loving cheek pressed close against thy horny breast, I hear the roar of sap mounting within thy veins; Tingling with buds, thy great hands open towards the west, To catch the sweetheart wind that brings the sister rains.

O winds that blow from out the fruitful mouth of God, O rains that softly fall from his all-loving eyes, You that bring buds to trees and daisies to the sod, O God's best Angel of the Spring, in me arise.
