He strayed down a walk edged with box, with apple trees, pear trees, and cherry trees on one side, and a border on the other full of all sorts of old-fashioned flowers, stocks, sweet-williams, primroses, pansies, mingled with southernwood, sweet-briar, and various fragrant herbs. They were fresh now as a succession of April showers and gleams, followed by a lovely spring morning, could make them: the sun was just entering the dappled east, and his light illumined the wreathed and dewy orchard trees and shone down the quiet walks under them.
Egli camminava in un sentiero limitato da una siepe di bosso; da un lato si vedevano i peri, i meli e i ciliegi, dall'altro i garofani, il biancospino e le erbe odorifere; erano così belle ristorate dal sole e dalle frequenti pioggie; il sole faceva brillare la rugiada sulle foglie e mandava i suoi raggi nel sentiero solitario ove eravamo.
