Thou bring'st the summer's painted sky;
The May-thorn greening in the nook;

The crystal of the azure seas;
The music of the southern breeze;

Telling of halcyon days begun.

Suddenly to be transported to that place where the air was so still that it held its breath, where the light was so golden that the most ordinary things were transfigured—to be transported into that delicate warmth.
