Clear and gentle stream!
Known and loved so long

That hast heard the song
And the idle dream
Of my boyish day;
While I once again

Down thy margin stray
In the selfsame strain
Still my voice is spent
With my old lament

And my idle dream
Clear and gentle stream!
Where my old seat was
Here again I sit

Where the long boughs knit
Over stream and grass
A translucent eaves:
Where back eddies play

Shipwreck with the leaves
And the proud swans stray
Sailing one by one
Out of stream and sun

And the fish lie cool
In their chosen pool
Many an afternoon
Of the summer day

Dreaming here I lay;
And I know how soon
Idly at its hour
First the deep bell hums

From the minster tower
And then evening comes
Creeping up the glade
With her lengthening shade

And the tardy boon
Of her brightening moon
Clear and gentle stream!
Ere again I go

Where thou dost not flow
Well does it beseem
Thee to hear again
Once my youthful song

That familiar strain
Silent now so long:
Be as I content
With my old lament

And my idle dream
Clear and gentle stream
