And purple bilberry's globe-like head;
And cranberry's bells of rosy red;
And creeping groundsel blue and bright;
And crane's-bill's streaks of red and white,
On purple with soft leaves of down,
And golden tulip's turbaned crown,
Sweet scented on its bending stem;
And bright-eyed star of Bethlehem ;
With those, the firstlings of their kind,
Which through the bosky thickets wind
Their tendrils, vetch, or pea, or tare,
At random; and with many a pair
Of leaflets green the brake embower,
And many a pendant-painted flower.

The Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) blooms in April and May, and is placed in the Linnæan class Icosandria, and order Polygynia; and in the Natural order Rosacea.
