A Landscape



O, for a fern-decked bank beside
     A mellow, murm’ring stream,
With now and then a sweet bird’s call
Above the plaintive waterfall,
     Where I might lie and dream.

A window through the myriad leaves
     Where I might look and see
A patch of river, blue and bright,
A fish-hawk wheeling into sight –
     Ah! that heaven would be.



July 13, 1901
