English Poetry II: From Collins to Fitzgerald.
The Harvard Classics. 1909–14.
William Wordsworth
368. Written in March
While resting on the Bridge at the foot of Brothers WaterT
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter,
The green field sleeps in the sun;
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
The Snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The Ploughboy is whooping—anon—anon:
There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
