    And gushing out below,
    Half frantic in its joyousness,
    And wild in eager flow.
    The earth is dried and parched with heat,
    And it hath long'd to be
    Released from out the selfish cloud,
    To cool the thirsty tree.

'Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught
Of cool refreshment, drain'd by fever'd lips,
May give a shock of pleasure to the frame

Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
