The Water-drinker's Song
I drink with a goodly company- With the sun that dips Iiis beams, And quails in loving ïvv.-lry RThe pure and Bp&rkltug Btreams ; The laughing strearos Tliat cateh his beams, To flash theni back in light ; The glittering rtreams Whose ripple gleams Like liquid diamond briglit. ' I drink wtth a blooming company- -AVith flowers of every huo, Whose fragrant lipa take daily sipa Of sweet and odorous dew Of morning dew So frehh and new, Tliat tenderly distills The balmy dew, So pure aiul irue, That every petal filis. I drink Mitli a merry company - With evèry bird that Bings, Carolling l'rêe a Btrain of glee, As he waves his airy wingi - Wild soaring wfngs - And upward spiings Filling the air with songs The woodlond rings, And eclio llings The warbling notes along. I drink with a noble company- With all the statcly trees That spread their teafyshad abroa, And fluth-r in the breeze The playful breeze That loves to pleaso My eomrades great and small ; Vil drink at. ea?e Pure draughts with these- Tliey're water-drinkeiü all.
