THE BROOK. Laughing,leaping, Never sleeping- Laughing-leaping thro' the day, Singing over Lead and clover, Over clover on its way- Hear it teaching, Softly preaching- Preaching-teaching to the rose Songs of [[strikethrough]]duty[[/strikethrough]] beauty And of [[strikethrough]]beauty[[/strikethrough]] duty Duty, beauty, as it flows. Ever fleeting, To the meeting- Fleeting-fleeting, on it speeds To the river [[strikethorugh]]And the quiver[[/strikethrough]], All a-quiver [[strikethrough]]Far off quiver of the reeds[[/strikethrough]]. With its glistening, [[?]] reeds 9 And the stilly Water lily, Fragrant lily of the streams, Bends to hear it And to cheer it, Hear and cheer it as it dreams. Ever reaming Toward the gloaming- Foaming, foaming, in its flight- [[strikethrough]]It[[/strikethrough]]Till [[strikethrough]]will[[/strikethrough]]it pillow 'Neath the willow On the bosom of the night.
