E Then from its sparkling waters, Q That enthralled the mortal eye, 5 Came a voice, soft and gentle, E And I heard the willow sigh. E Yea, I heard the weeping willow, E That had stood a hundred years, Ig Sobbing. sighing-giving freely 5 Of its sympathetic tears. S And I sat amazed, bewildered, E Silent as the dangling fern, E And the willow bade me listen- E Yea, to listen, heed and learn. E Quoth the voice from the brooklet, E As the weeping willow wept, g And the mossy-fingered orpheus E O'er his lyre slowly swept, E I am speaking to thee from the waters, E The mystical waters of life, E I am giving the wonderful secret Of winning or losing the strife. E I come from the shades of the forest, E And the green of the velvet mead: Q I wend my way, by night and day, E To succor the souls in need. 5 I am old as the tomb of the ages, E I am young as the crystalline dew, g From the time I was born, on the creative morn, 2 I have spoken to all, as to you. 5 In the centuries past, and forgotten, E I visited peasant and king, E And to every soul, in the ages of old, E I have given a wedding ring.
