FROM SPRING TO RIVULET.

Still dances the brook with its murmurs gay,

Down through the woods and under the way,

Splashing o’er rocks,—through meadow agleam,

To lose itself in the larger stream.

It passes a laugh with ferns that peer

To see their forms in its waters clear;

It meets a rock, and dashes spray

At moss and lichens that light its gray;
