"I chatter over stony ways In little sharps & trebles, I bubble into eddying bays I babble on the pebbles: With many a curve my banks I fret By many a field & fallow And many a fairy forehead set With willow weed & mallow: I chatter, chatter as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come & men may go, But I go on for ever."
