Figure descriptions
Multiple scenes form a full border around the poem text. In the top-left corner, a
boy and a girl walk alongside a body of
water. They hold hands and the girl bends over, pointing toward the ground. Grasses
and wild flowers grow along the water’s edge. A
tree stands behind the children and a flock of birds flies over houses in the background.
Trees and a church stand on the horizon in
the top-center of the border. In the bottom-left corner and along the bottom-center
of the border, multiple figures gather in a city
street. A man walks on the sidewalk and a woman stands behind him in the distance.
Four women stand together in the middle of the
street, and a figure travels into the distance on a horse-drawn cart. The building
façades line the left side of the scene. A flock
of birds flies over the roofs. In the bottom-right corner, two figures link arms and
walk through a gate toward a distant church. In
the top-right corner, there is an enlarged cluster of bells with five descending ropes.
