Clear and gentle stream!
Known and loved so long
That hast heard the song
And the idle dream
Of my boyish day;
While I once again
Down thy margin stray
In the selfsame strain
Still my voice is spent
With my old lament
And my idle dream
Clear and gentle stream!
Where my old seat was
Here again I sit
Where the long boughs knit
Over stream and grass
A translucent eaves:
Where back eddies play
Shipwreck with the leaves
And the proud swans stray
Sailing one by one
Out of stream and sun
And the fish lie cool
In their chosen pool
Many an afternoon
Of the summer day
Dreaming here I lay;
And I know how soon
Idly at its hour
First the deep bell hums
From the minster tower
And then evening comes
Creeping up the glade
With her lengthening shade
And the tardy boon
Of her brightening moon
Clear and gentle stream!
Ere again I go
Where thou dost not flow
Well does it beseem
Thee to hear again
Once my youthful song
That familiar strain
Silent now so long:
Be as I content
With my old lament
And my idle dream
Clear and gentle stream
