And o'er him liquid freshness throw,
Amid her murmuring.
But she may chide and sing,
And o'er him liquid freshness throw,
Amid her murmuring.

In waters clear at play;
Yet never she such azure wore,

In waters clear at play;
Yet never she such azure wore,
Till wept on by the spray.

Stays charmed upon the bank;
Her thoughtful blue eye brimming wet,
The rock and rill to thank.
Stays charmed upon the bank;
Her thoughtful blue eye brimming wet,
The rock and rill to thank.
The rill is blessing in her talk
What half she held a wrong,—
The happy trouble of the rock
That makes her life a song.
What half she held a wrong,—
The happy trouble of the rock
That makes her life a song.
