XXXIX The water-ways are wondrous; rivers, lakes, And bubbly well-runs in the inner wood, Each has a voice that merry music makes Or mournful, by the spirit understood : Ever the ocean with her organ tones Sings round the capes, or up the long sand moans. XL All the world sang for thee ; wood-wind and brass Made tonal harmonies to haunt thine ear ; The thinnest song from out the summer grass, The tempest s choral-work, and, sphere by sphere. 32 The stars of God, chanting their rhythm clear, All..., all made music, all to thee were dear. Woods, winds, and waters, how they drew thy soul, Up, out, and ever toward its destined goal ! XLI The water-call for thee was constant lure : No Undine in a fable heard more sweet The cool, soft croon, nor better loved the pure Deep invitation where the mermaids meet. So wert thou fain thine hours of ease to spend Upon the bosom of this calling friend. XLII False friend and fateful day when thou didst glide Ghost-like, at twilight, in the tiny boat Out through the shadows of the eventide Into the open waters, there to float And dream; for as thou dream st, some evil thing Beached from the waves to seize thy life, and bring Deep sadness unto all who dream and sing.
