Return, Content! for fondly I pursued,

Even when a child, the Streams[GC]—unheard, unseen;

Through tangled woods, impending rocks between;

Or, free as air, with flying inquest viewed

The sullen reservoirs whence their bold brood—

Pure as the morning, fretful, boisterous, keen,

Green as the[458] salt-sea billows, white and green—

Poured down the hills, a choral multitude!

Nor have I tracked their course for scanty gains;

They taught me random cares and truant joys,
