6. Poem: Thebrook
I comefrom haunts of coot and Hern
I make a sudden sally
And sparkle out among the fern
To bicker down a valley

7. By thirty hillsI hurry down or slip between
ridges
By twenty Thorpe'sa little down
And half a hundred bridges
Till last by Philip'sfarm, I flow

8. To jointhe brimming river,
For men may comeand men may go
But I goon for ever.
I chatter overstony ways,
In littlesharps and trebles

9. I bubbleintoeddyingbays,
I babbleon the pebbles.
With many a curve my banksI fret
By manya fieldand fallow,
And many a fairyfore land set.

10. With willowweedand mallow.
I chatter,chatter,as I flow
To jointhe brimming river,
For men may comeand men may go
But I goon for ever.

11. I wind about andin and out With here a
blossomsailing
And hereand there a lustytrout
And hereand therea grayling,
And hereand therea foamy flake.

12. Upon me,as itravel
With many a silvery water break
Abovethe goldengravel,
And draw them allalong,and flow
To jointhe brimming river.

13. for men maycomeand men may go
But i go onfor ever.
I stealby lawns and grassy plots
i slide byhazel covers
I move the sweet forget-me-nots.

14. That grow for happy lovers.
I slip,I slide,I gloom,I glance,
Among my skimming swallows
I makethe nutted sun beam dance
Against my sandy shallows.

15. I murmur undermoon andstars
In brambly wilderness
I linger bymy shingly bars
I loiterround my cresses
And outagainI curveand flow

16. To jointhe brimming riverfor men may come
and men maygo
But I goon for ever.
