Oh fair enough are sky and plain
Oh fair enough are sky and plain,But I know fairer far:Those are as beautiful againThat in the water are;
The pools and rivers wash so cleanThe trees and clouds and air,The like on earth was never seen,And oh that I were there.
These are the thoughts I often thinkAs I stand gazing downIn act upon the cressy brinkTo strip and dive and drown;
But in the golden-sanded brooksAnd azure meres I spyA silly lad that longs and looksAnd wishes he were I.
