Eleanor's Well
Sweet fields were ours touched with a mellow glow,From gorgeous cloud at rise, at set of sun,
And shadowing trees, but no glad spring had run
Beside our homes, to bless the day and night,
But see! the water flows with gentle might,
In metal highway thro' green pastures led,
And o'er the sculptured bason see it shed
A silver stream, a fall of sparkling light!
Thus with wise heart a gentle fancy wed,
Long summer morns, hath for our solace wrought;
So noble work succeeds to noble thought,
So the hand justifies the heart and head,
So the child's play to earnest close is brought,
So piety from poetry is wed.
