There stood a low and ivied roofA
As gazing rustics tellB
In times of chivalry and songC
'Yclept the holy wellB
-
Above the ivies' branchlets grayD
In glistening clusters shoneE
While round the base the grass blades brightF
And spiry foxglove sprungG
-
The brambles clung in graceful bandsH
Chequering the old gray stoneE
With shining leaflets whose bright faceI
In autumn's tinting shoneE
-
Around the fountain's eastern baseI
A babbling brooklet spedJ
With sleepy murmur purling softK
Adown its gravelly bedJ
-
Within the cell the filmy fernsL
To woo the clear wave bentM
And cushioned mosses to the stoneE
Their quaint embroidery lentM
-
The fountain's face lay still as glassN
Save where the streamlet freeO
Across the basin's gnarled lipP
Flowed ever silentlyO
-
Above the well a little nookQ
Once held as rustics tellB
All garland decked an image ofR
The Lady of the WellB
-
They tell of tales of mysteryO
Of darkling deeds of woeS
But no such doings might not brookQ
The holy streamlet's flowS
-
Oh tell me not of bitter thoughtsT
Of melancholy dreamsU
By that fair fount whose sunny wallV
Basks in the western beamsU
-
When last I saw that little streamW
A form of light there stoodX
That seemed like a precious gemY
Beneath that archway rudeZ
-
And as I gazed with love and aweA2
Upon that sylph like thingB2
Methought that airy form must beO
The fairy of the springB2
