By the silken ribbon of river green,
Bumble-buzz, reed whispers, summer sounds,
The willow weeps for slights unseen
And black-caped damsels flaunt sapphire gowns.
Dancing secrets of tales untold.
'mid the dark marsh grass, under leaden skies
Rain-bright droplets of molten gold
Are the sun-shed tears of buttercup goodbyes
