And the great one knows us there.

And build mp the fence again,

Ont of the mist the river gdes to us,
Glides like a phantom strange and marvelrusA
Ont of tbs mist,
Into tho mist the river passes on,
With inarticulate murnnr flows amos
Into tho mist.
And yet, perchance upon its infant rills
Fair shone the sun amid the grading hills
Before tho mist.
And when at last the full food ncars the main,
Perchance q glory crowns It yet again.
