An arrow’s flight above that mountain stream

There was a little glade, where underneath

A long smooth mossy stone a fountain rose.

An oak grew near, and with its ample boughs

O’ercanopied the spring; its fretted roots

Emboss’d the bank, and on their tufted bark

Grew plants which love the moisture and the shade;

Short ferns, and longer leaves of wrinkled green

Which bent toward the spring, and when the wind

Made itself felt, just touch’d with gentle dip
