The Brook
Written for The Spy.l

SO you want me to write of our
Mature talks"
When we stray and chat together,
How | comprehend her mode of speech
OF the land, the sea, the weather.
Why, my gentle friend, tbs a simple
task
When we go onward speeding,
Not half so hard as your printed books
Is her plain form of reading.
Let us choose the land, climb a slightly
hill,
O'erlooking plain and valley;
Here we find a spring merging in a
brook
Where her balsams seem to rally:
You ask not taking time for thought.
What need of curve and winding?
Why not strike a line straight for the
sea,
That way an outlet finding?
have learned that Nature goes her
way
With little fuss nor hurry.
Small things that drive crude man in
sane,
? Her, do not seem to worry:
So seeking path where her brook may
run
She stops well to consider,
How greatest good may accrue to all
Ere it joins the mighty river.
So she leads it here. and there. and
'yond,
Making pools, and banks, and clatter;
Where the supple trout may bask and
swim
When the -sun-rays kiss the water:
Great trees that make such welcome
shade
Grow, and while growing, ponder.
How their roots would gather moisture
Were the brook a mile out yonder.
Cattle on the hills come hurrying down
To drink, a blessing leaving,
From their perfumed breath, from
clover tops
AS its waves go on speeding:
Birds battle their forms, and drink
its drops,
While willows, sweet heads bending,
Give fragrance to the bees and brook
With a gratitude unending.
Down hill and dale, in here and there.
This brook flows. hundreds blessing;
Cooling many threats in its onward
course,
Thirst and fierce fever less'ning:
Perhaps when you read Natures book,
And mans crude lessons Danish,
Your straight lines for her streams and
brooks
Will somehow seem to vanish.

Dear Mother-eyes
That watched while other eyes were
closed in sleep,
That DER my sliding steps were wont
to weep
Are we now looking from the starry
skies.
With clearer spirit-vision, love more

Undimrned by tears while I my vigil
keep
Dear Mother-eyes?
Dear Mother-heart
That felt the good where others found

That loathed the sin, yet loved the

And charmed his soul to choose the
better part,
