The Brook
By ANNIE E. NuoHENER

Flow on. noisy brooklet.
In your happy way,
Ger the rugged stones
This glad summer day.
Into a deep pool,
There to whirl and whirl,
While on your green banks,
Plays a dark eyed girl.
Then rushing again
With a dancing gleam-
Under the bridge
To the broader stream
There lost 70 yourself,
In fullness Of might.
Gaining in power
In your rapid flight
Play on. little girl.
With the pensive look.
Dreaming naught Of power
In the passing brook.
Nor the greater power
In your eyes that shine,
That Will some day thrill,
other hearts than mine.
I may not again
Look into your face,
But I'm sure you'll grow
In beauty and grace.
Joined to another
In womanhood's day.
May you grow in power
Like the brook today.
