Eva wondered, but silently followed her guide, little Rose-Leaf, who with tender words passed among the delicate blossoms, pouring dew on their feeble roots, cheering them with her loving words and happy smile. Then she went to the insects; first to a little fly who lay in a flower-leaf cradle. "Do you suffer much, dear Gauzy-Wing?" asked the Fairy.
"Oh," said she, "it is cold out of doors now; it snows and freezes. Stay in your warm bed; I will take care of you." Then she brought the swallow some water in a flower-leaf, and after he had drank, he told her that he had wounded one of his wings in a thorn-bush, and could not fly as fast as the others, who were soon far away on their journey to warm countries.
Fair, blooming, polished, and pure, her complexion had at once the colouring and the texture of a flower-leaf; and her regular and lovely features the red smiling lips, the clear blue eyes, the curling golden hair, and the round yet slender figure formed a most rare combination of childish beauty.
Then he came and lifted her hand to his breast, and it lay upon his dark-green doublet, as a white flower-leaf doth upon grass, and he saith to her, "Sweetheart, dost thou not know me?" All at once, for what, God only knoweth, she fell a-weeping, and he had her in his arms.
