Poem
A limpid lake, a diamond gem, The moonbeams kissed with light; And all the stars that heaven knew Were mirrored in the night. How fair the world, how fair the night, When lake and river run Like jeweled streams of fairy land Beneath a silver sun. The lake grew proud and claimed each star That lay upon her breast; "Ah! they are mine," she said; "these gems That in my bosom rest. "And yonder moon, that sails on high, Doth shine for me alone; Beneath the foam that crests my waves Is built her silver throne." A star-king knelt and kissed the waves That swept the shadowed shore; "Our moon is queen of heaven," he said, "Is queen forevermore. A thousand lakes are hers by night, A thousand lakes of light; A thousand rivers kiss her feet, A thousand rivers bright. "Then be not vain, thou lakelet small, The moon is not for thee; Her home is in the river wide, Her throne is in the sea." The bright waves swept the silent shore, The star-king crept away; Yet calm and fair, still unconvinced, The lake in silence lay. The moon, that swept her silvery light Far o'er the waters wide, Belonged to her, and all the stars That floated side by side. Ah! silver lake, too well we know How like we are to thee; A thousand truths are in the world That we may never see!
