    'Tis a little thing
    To give a cup of water; yet its draught
    Of cool refreshment, drain'd by fever'd lips,

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

And gushing out below,
Half frantic in its joyousness,
And wild in eager flow.

And it hath long'd to be
Released from out the selfish cloud,
To cool the thirsty tree.
