SUNRISE IN RYDAL WATER.
Come down at dawn from windless hills Into the valley of the lake. Where yet a larger quiet fills The hour, and mist and wn.tor make With rocks and reeds and island houghs One silence and one element. Where wonder goes surely as once It went By Galilean prows. . . . Over the lake's end strikes the sun. White, flameless fire, Rome purity Thrilling the mist, a splendour won Out of the world's heart. Let there be. Thoughts, and atonements, and desires, Proud limbs, and undeliberate tongue, Wliere now we move with mortal oars Among Immortal dews and fire. . . . —ToJin Drinkwater.
