We lingered long upon the slope, And gazed on cloudless heavens above;--No more I dreamed of trembling hope, For hope was lost in faith and love! 1854. THE WATER-LILY. We were together by a lonely river, A little shady river, A rock-strewn, restless river, A swift and sparkling river, Whose waters were forever Twisting and hurrying round the gnarled roots, And shooting silent under mossy banks Of fragrant mould, and heaps of last year's leaves.
