Figure descriptions
A girl sits at the base of a tree while holding her knees in her arms. She looks down
towards a boy who looks into her eyes
and offers her a bouquet of flowers. The boy hides a basket of peaches behind his
back with his other hand. There are grasses and
rocks on the ground around the young couple. Branches with trees, flowers, and small
fruits ascend the tree and drape over their
heads. They also descend the poem page beyond the main illustrative components. In
the top-right corner, the letters of the poem
title hang from small branches. The poem text is contained within five single-ruled
rectangular frames separated by stanza. These
frames are superimposed over the illustration and descend the page in a column with
the fourth stanza indented to the left. In the
bottom-right corner, a bird sits on a branch while another bird tends to a nest with
three eggs. A third bird sits on the upper edge
of the rectangle that contains the first stanza. Full-page illustration.
