NAPLES
BAY OF
Walled with woods.or sandy shelf,
Ever doubling on itself,
Flows the stream so still and slow
That it hardly seems to flow.
LAKE WYONEGOMIC (LONG LAKE)
Nowhere such a devious stream,
In the mirror of its tide
Save in fancy or in dream,
Tangled thickets on each side
Winding slow through bush and brake, Hang inverted, and between
Links together lake and lake.
Floating cloud and sky serene.
Never errant knight of old,
Lost in woodland or on wold.
Such a winding path pursued
Through the sylvan solitude.
Never schoolboy, in his quest
After hazel nut or rest.
Through the forest in and out
Wandered loitering thus about.
STEAMBOAT CO.MAINe.
Swift or swallow on the wing
Seems the only living thing,
Or the loon, that laughs and flies
Down to those reflected skies.
CREETINGS
SONGO
Silent stream! thy Indian name
Unfamiliar is to fame;
For thou hidest here alone,
Well content to be unknown.
But thy tranquil waters teach
Wisdom deep as human speech,
Moving without haste or noise
In unbroken equipoise.
из
Though thou turn'st no busy mill,
And art ever calm and still,
Even thy silence seems to say
To the traveler on his way:
Traveler, hurrying from the heat.
Of the city, stay thy feet!
Rest awhile, no longer waste
Life with inconsiderate haste!
Be not like a stream that brawls
Loud with shallow waterfalls, .
But in quiet self-control
Link together soul and soul."
-Henry W. Longfellow.
