VII.

THE STREAM SET FREE.




Flow on, rejoice, make music,
    Bright living stream set free!
The troubled haunts of care and strife
    Were not for thee!

The woodland is thy country,
    Thou art all its own again;
The wild birds are thy kindred race,
    That fear no chain.

Flow on, rejoice, make music
    Unto the glistening leaves!
Thou, the beloved of balmy winds,
    And golden eves.
