The Secret of the Drook.
The silver brook is dancing light All in the golden sunshine bright ; Acrois the stones with moss bedight, Ita curling eddies whirl and fight, In many a lonely nook ; It mnrmurs with melodious flow Among the lilies white as anow, As onward it doth tinging go Toward the mighty sea below ; Thus ripples on the br«ok'. Come to me, Love ! The day ia fair, And blossom-scented in the air, Tbo flowers their ohoiceit coloara wear, 'Til beauty here and beauty there ; Far as the eye can see ; Together let as joyous eing, "Whilst sunny summer-time doth bring. Fresh life and joy te everything, For Time, alas I is on the wing ; Com*, como, my love to me I There'B tender musijß in the *snnd Of plashing watprs all around, As o'er the pebbles Hght doth boundBo light it scarce doth touch thfl grouad— The ever-rippling brook. Oh Love I each mellow, dulcet t<jne Speak to our souls, a^ hero we own We for f ach other live alone ; Tuo secre'; of onr hearts h t-hown, And written in Lite's Book.
