I feel thy ripples lapping free,

And thou dost lie so near to me

I see my figure on thy face,

Entwined in shadows, linked like lace.

Oh! what art thou? what canst thou be,

That dost reflect my visage unto me?

I know not what thou seemest to another,

But thou to me art as a brother.

To a Turtle

O gallant knight in armour black
