In the quiet evening light I watch the stream ' never hasting, never resting ' : the grass that grows beside it is always green, the flowers are fresh ; it makes long embracing curves — I could cross from point to point in a minute, but to follow takes five. The ways of the water are ways of healing; I have a companion who makes no mis- takes, touches none of my tender spots. Presently I reach the silent pool, where the stream takes a wide sweep. Here the fair white water-lilies lie on their br...oad green leaves and wait for their lover the moon ; for then they open their silvery leaves and bloom in the soft light 57 By Rivers and Streams fairer far than beneath the hot rays of the sun. Then, too, the buds rise out of the water and the moon kisses them into bloom and fragrance. Near by are the little yellow water-lilies, set for beauty against a background of great blue- eyed forget-me-nots and tall feathery meadowsweet. The river still sweeps on its way, but the pool is undisturbed; it lies out of the current.
