The Wind and Stream.

ny WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Brook came stealing from the ground;
You scarcely saw its silvery CLEAN
Among the herbs that hung around
The borders of that winding stream
A pretty stream. placid stream,
A softly gliding, bashful stream.
breeze came wandering from the sky,
Light as the whispers of a dream
He put the o'crhanging grasses by,
And gayly stopped to kiss the stream
The pretty stream, the flattered stream,
The shy, yet unreluctant stream.
The water. as the wind passed DER,
Shot upward many glancing beam,
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tripped along livelier stream,--
The flattered stream, the simpering stream,
The fond, delighted, silly stream,
Away the airy wanderer flew
To where the fields with blossoms TEEN,
To sparkling springs and rivers blue,
And left alone that little stream
The flattered stream, the cheated stream
The sad, torsaken, lonely stream.
That careless wind no more came back;
He wanders yet the fields, deem;
But on its melancholy track
Complaining went that little stream,-
The cheated stream, the hopeless stream
The ever murmuring, moaning stream.
