| | | WHEN sunlight marries the swaying branches, | |
| With shadowy dancings the rite is said— | |
| To the crooning of easeful winds and waters, | |
| Whispering often, “I love you, I love you.” | |
| |
| Now in wedded lilies the juices bubble, | 5 |
| And saps make music about the heart. | |
| With flower on flower the spring is yearning | |
| For the Easter of love, the sacrament of love, | |
| The passion of the earth and the passion of the sky; | |
| Whispering often, “I love you, I love you.” | 10 | | | |
