Im dunkeln Laub die Gold-Orangen glūhn,

With its leaves of velvet green:
With its luscious fruit of sunset hue,
The fairest that ever were seen;

To praise the fig we are free;
But homage I pay to the queen of all,
The glorious orange-tree.”

“Beneath some orange-trees,
Whose fruit and blossoms in the breeze
Were wantoning together free,
Like age at play with infancy.
