And be busy in his dream,
And he'll float 20 his eye in the morning light,

And rides on the echo back.
And signs in his ear like stirring leaf,
Aud fits in his woodland track.
The shade Of the wood aud the sheen Of the river,
The cloud and the open sky
lie will hunt them all with his subtle quivor,
Like the light Of your VerJ eye.
The fisher hangs over the leaning boat,
And ponders the silver sea,
For Love is under the surface hid,
And spell Of Thought has he.
lie Eeaves the wave like bosom sxeet,
And he speaks IN the ripple low,
Till the bait is gone from the crafty line,
Aud the hook hangs bare below.

And iutrudes in the Daidens prayer,
And proftnes the cell of the holy man
