The gentle wind that waves
  The green boughs here and there,
Is showing how my hand
  Waved Kitty's finer hair.

The Bee, when all his joints
  Are clinging to a Blossom,
Is showing how I clung
  To Kitty's softer bosom.

The Rill, when his sweet voice
  Is hushed by water-cresses,
Is Kitty's sweeter voice
  Subdued by my long losses.

Those little stars that shine
  So happy in the skies,
Are those sweet babes I saw,
  Whose heaven was Kitty's eyes.

The Moon, that casts her beam
  Upon the hill's dark crest,
Is Kitty's whiter arm
  Across my hairy breast.

The hazel nuts, when paired
  Unseen beneath the boughs,
Are Kitty and myself,
  Whenever Chance allows.
