• Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
  And give us not to think so far away
  As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
  All simply in the springing of the year.
  
  Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
  Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
  And make us happy in the happy bees,
  The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

  Robert Frost
