THE FROZEN STREAM

Richard Le Gallienne

Stream that leapt and danced Down the rocky ledges, All the summer long, Past the flowered sedges,

Under the green rafters, With their leafy laughters, Murmuring your song: Strangely still and tranced,

All your singing ended, Wizardly suspended, Icily adream; When the new buds thicken,

Can this crystal quicken, Now so strangely sleeping, Once more go a-leaping Down the rocky ledges,

All the summer long, Murmuring its song?
