THE FROZEN STREAM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Stream that leapt and danced
Last Line: Murmuring its song?
Subject(s): Brooks; Streams; Creeks


STREAM that leapt and danced
Down the rocky ledges,
All the summer long,
Past the flowered sedges,
Under the green rafters,
With their leafy laughters,
Murmuring your song:
Strangely still and tranced,
All your singing ended,
Wizardly suspended,
Icily adream;
When the new buds thicken,
Can this crystal quicken,
Now so strangely sleeping,
Once more go a-leaping
Down the rocky ledges,
All the summer long,
Murmuring its song?
