Figure descriptions
Illustrated page is divided into three sections. The poem text is let in to two rectangular
spaces that separate the first two
sections from the third. In the first section, at the top-left corner of the page,
the illustrated poem title is contained within a
heart-shaped border formed from two twigs. Inside the heart-shaped border, a bird
perches on a branch, spreads its wings, and sings.
Large flowers are clustered around the bottom edges of the border. In the second section,
at the top-right quarter of the
illustration, a man walks down a wooded path. He wears a dark suit and hat and walks
with a walking stick. The path on which he
walks is lined with dense and mostly leafless trees. There is a small bird in a tree
on the left side of the illustrated section. In
the third section, at the bottom half of the illustration, the man from the second
section embraces a woman and walks with her
toward a large house. The two figures stand under a tree canopy and are surrounded
by flowering plants. There is an urn-shaped
garden statue nestled among the flowers at their right. The illustration is contained
within a rectangular wooden border. Small vines
are wrapped around the border. Full page.
