- The well was dry beside the door,
- And so we went with pail and can
- Across the fields behind the house
- To seek the brook if still it ran;
- Not loth to have excuse to go,
- Because the autumn eve was fair
- (Though chill), because the fields were ours,
- And by the brook our woods were there.
- We ran as if to meet the moon
- That slowly dawned behind the trees,
- The barren boughs without the leaves,
- Without the birds, without the breeze.
- But once within the wood,we paused
- Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
- Ready to run to hiding new
- With laughter when she found us soon.
- Each laid on other a staying hand
- To listen ere we dared to look,
- And in the hush we joined to make
- We heard,we knew, we heard the brook.
- A note as from a single place,
- A slender tinkling fall that made
- Now drops that floated on the pool
- Like pearls , and now a silver blade.
- rhyming words:
- can/ran,fair/there/ trees/breeze/ moon/soon/ look/brook
- made/blade
