Croaked from its dewy grot, the wandering steps

Of him who searched for water hither drew;

Not heedless of the guiding voice, he found

The longed-for draught from the sweet cooling spring.

Translation of W. Hay.

LITTLE STREAMS.

Little streams are light and shadow,

Flowing through the pasture meadow—

Flowing by the green way-side,

Through the forest dim and wild,
