SONG.

1

Go, where the water glideth gently ever,
Glideth by meadows that the greenest be;—
Go, listen to our own beloved river,
And think of me!

2

Wander in forests, where the small flower layeth
Its fairy gem beside the giant tree;
Listen the dim brook pining while it playeth,
And think of me!

3

Watch when the sky is silver pale at Even,
And the wind grieveth in the lonely tree;
Go out beneath the solitary heaven,
And think of me!

4

And when the moon riseth as she were dreaming,
And treadeth with white feet the lulled sea;
Go, silent as a star beneath her beaming,
And think of me!
