The Housatonic at Stockbridge
Contented river in thy dreamy realm
The cloudy willow and the plumy elm:
Thou beautiful! from ev’ry dreamy hill
What eye but wanders with thee at thy will.Contented river! And yet overshy
To mask thy beauty from the eager eye;
Hast thou a thought to hide from field and town?
In some deep current of the sunlit brown.Ah! there’s a restive ripple,
And kind the swift red leaves
September’s firstlings faster drift;
Wouldst thou away, dear stream?Come, whisper near!
I also of much resting have a fear;
Let me tomorrow thy companion be,
By fall and shallow to the adventurous sea!Robert Underwood Johnson
