See, how the stream has overflowed Is spreading far and wide!
— Streams
See, how the stream has overflowed Is spreading far and wide!
He makes sweet music with the enameled stones,He overtaketh in his pilgrimage.
The streams, rejoiced that winter's work is done,Talk of to-morrow's cowslips as they run.
From Helicon's harmonious springsA thousand rills their mazy progress take.
Sweet are the little brooks that run Singing in soothing tones.
Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road.Where thou dost sparkle into song, and fill the woods with light.
The music of the brook silenced all conversation.
I wandered by the brook-side, The noisy wheel was still.
Gently running made sweet music with the enameled stones and seemed to give a gentle kiss to every sedge he overtook in his watery pilgrimage.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow But I go on forever.
Brook! whose society the poet seeks,And tracks thee dancing down thy water-breaks.
