| Multiple poems at a time |
She gathers the white southernwood,
Along the streams in the valleys.
She employs it,
In the temple of our prince.
With head-dress reverently rising aloft,
Early, while yet it is night, she is in the prince's temple;
In her dead-dress, slowly retiring,
She returns to her own apartments.
