## The words

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