Text Appearing Before Image:
XXXV LOOKING-GLASS RIVER S MOOTH it glides upon its travel,Here a wimple, there a gleam —O the clean gravel 1O the smooth stream! Sailing blossoms, silver fishes,Paven pools as clear as air —How a child wishesTo live down there! We can see our coloured facesFloating on the shaken poolDown in cool places,Dim and very cool; (52) We can see our coloured facesFloating on the shaken pool
Text Appearing After Image:
Till a wind or water wrinkle,Dipping marten, plumping trout,Spreads in a twinkleAnd blots all out. See the rings pursue each other;All below grows black as night,Just as if motherHad blown out the light! Patience, children, just a minute —See the spreading circles die;The stream and all in itWill clear by-and-by. (53) XXXVIFAIRY BREAD COME up here, O dusty feet!Here is fairy bread to eat.Here in my retiring room,Children, you may dineOn the golden smell of broom And the shade of pine;And when you have eaten well,Fairy stories hear and tell.
