The fountain
Into the sunshine,
Full of the light,
Leaping and flashing
From morn till night!
Into the moonlight,
White than snow,
Wave so flower-like
When the winds blow!
Into the starlight,
Rushing in spray,
Happy at midnight,
Happy by day.
Ever in motion,
Blithesome an cheery,
Still climbing heavenward,
Never aweary;
Clad of all weathers,
Still seeming best,
Upward or downward
Motion thy rest;
Full of a nature
Nothing can tame,
Changed every moment,
Ever the same;
Ceaseless aspiring,
Ceaseless content,
Darkness or sunshine
Thy element;
Glorious fountain!
Let my heart be Fresh,
changeful, constantly,
Upward like thee!
