Nature
The Fountain Head
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Nature
Pause not here to drink thy fill
Where the sheep have stirred the rill,
And the pool lies warm and still--
Cross yon ridge a little way,
Where the grazing heifers stray,
And the stone-pine's branches sway
O'er a creviced rock below;
Thence the bubbling waters flow
Cooler than the northern snow.
