The water flag and wild cane grow	A
'Round banks whereon the sunbeams sow	B
Fantastic gold when on its shores	C
The wind sighs through the sycamores	C
	-
In one green angle just in reach	D
Between a willow tree and beech	D
Moss grown and leaky lies a boat	E
The thick grown lilies keep afloat	E
	-
And through its waters half awake	F
Slow swims the spotted water snake	F
And near its edge like some gray streak	G
Stands gaunt the still fly up the creek	G
	-
Between the lily pads and blooms	C
The water spirits set their looms	C
That weave the lace like light that dims	C
The glimmering leaves of under limbs	C
	-
Each lily is the hiding place	C
Of some dim wood imp's elvish face	C
That watches you with gold green eyes	C
Where bubbles of its breathing rise	C
	-
I fancy when the waxing moon	H
Leans through the trees and dreams of June	H
And when the black bat slants its wing	I
And lonelier the green frogs sing	I
I fancy when the whippoorwill	J
	-
In some old tree sings wild and shrill	J
With glow worm eyes that dot the dark	K
Each holding high a firefly spark	K
	-
To torch its way the wood imps come	L
And some float rocking here and some	L
Unmoor the lily leaves and oar	M
Around the old boat by the shore	M
	-
They climb through oozy weeds and moss	C
They swarm its rotting sides and toss	C
Their firefly torches o'er its edge	N
Or hang them in the tangled sedge	N
	-
The boat is loosed The moon is pale	J
Around the dam they slowly sail	J
Upon the bow to pilot it	O
A jack o' lantern gleam doth sit	O
	-
Yes I have seen it in my dreams	C
Naught is forgotten naught it seems	C
The strangled face the tangled hair	P
Of the drown'd woman trailing there	P
