Living
Brook, from whose bridge the wandering idler peers
From The Poems of William Watson (1893)
Living
Brook, from whose bridge the wandering idler peers
To watch thy small fish dart or cool floor shine,
I would that bridge whose arches all are years
Spann'd not a less transparent wave than thine!
