Soft maids and village hinds shall bring
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.

Additional quotes by William Collins

For when thy folding-star arising shows
His paly circlet, at his warning lamp
The fragrant hours, and elves
Who slept in buds the day,
And many a nymph who wreathes her brows with sedge
And sheds the fresh'ning dew, and lovelier still,
The pensive pleasures sweet
Prepare thy shadowy car.
