Through reedy fen and yielding MOSES,
To where, through PUSHES rank and green,
On steppingstOnes the brook 1t crosses;
Il circles in aud circles out, :.
By ferny fell and wooded passes,
And hides away in sudden sport
Beneath the lush and tangled grasses.
It skirts the uplsnd's shallow pool
With many graceful scoop and hollow
And runs away ON bare brown feet
The faster as you faster follow
It sweeps along the fallOw ridge
In countless eddying curves and narrows
And swooping ia and swooping out,
1t rights the wee brown.breasted spar
rows.
1t fits away with dainty grace
Through spongy marsh and sandy shal
lows,
And dOns the cardinals gay hood
To brighten up its barren fallows;
It braiis the king-cup's golden bells,
Like stars amid its floating tresses,
And eircling in and circling out
1t dies at last among its crosses.
