And mountain brook. The dweller by thy side,

Who moored his little boat upon thy beach,

Though all the waters that upbore it then

Have slid away o’er night, shall find, at noon

Thy channels filled with waters freshly drawn

From distant cliffs and hollows, where the rill

Comes up amid the water-flags. All night

Thou givest moisture to the thirsty roots

Of the lithe willow and overhanging plane,

And cherishest the herbage of thy bank,
