Cool Waters
A fern hung over, one lacy frond Tipping the edge of the moveless pond; And flowers, drenched With the sun'i Warm u>inc, Were mirrored beside a stately pine. The sun sank, slowly down to sleep. And one hy one the stars to peep Began from 'midst the night sky cool; All twinkled gaily in the pool. Like pensive nun the daylight came, In robe of gold and hood the same; And colours flickered o'er the pool, Tinting pink the waters cool. —Original, by Elaine Hewitt (16.)
