    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.

timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of
the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.

'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
More exquisite than when nectarean juice
Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
