Oh fair enough are sky and plain,
But know fairer far:
Those are as beautiful again
in the water are;
The pools and rivers wash clean
The trees and clouds and air,
The on earth was never seen,
And oh that were there.
These are the thoughts I often think
As I stand gazing down
In act upon the brink
To strip and dive and drown;
But the golden-sanded brooks
And azure meres I spy
silly lad that longs and looks
And wishes were I.
