Twas morn and wending on its way	A
Beside my path a stream was playing	B
And down its banks in humor gay	A
A thoughtless boy was idly straying	B
	-
Light as the breeze they onward flew	C
That joyous youth and laughing tide	D
And seemed each other's course to woo	C
For long they bounded side by side	D
	-
And now the dimpling water staid	E
And glassed its ripples in a nook	F
And on its breast a bubble played	E
Which won the boy's admiring look	F
	-
He bent him o'er the river's brim	G
And on the radiant vision gazed	H
For lovelier still it seemed to him	G
That in its breast his imaged blazed	H
	-
With beating heart and trembling finger	I
He stooped the wondrous gem to clasp	J
But spellbound seemed a while to linger	I
Ere yet he made th' adventurous grasp	J
	-
And still a while the glittering toy	K
Coquettish seemed to shun the snare	L
And then more eager grew the boy	K
And followed with impetuous air	L
	-
Round and around with heedful eyes	M
He chased it o'er the wavy river	I
He marked his time and seized his prize	M
But in his hand it burst for ever	I
	-
Upon the river's marge he sate	N
The tears adown his young cheek gushing	B
And long his heart disconsolate	N
He heeded not the river's rushing	B
	-
But tears will cease And now the boy	K
Once more looked forth upon the stream	O
'Twas morning still and lo a toy	K
Bright as the last one in the beam	O
	-
He rose pursued the bubble caught	N
It burst he sighed then others chased	N
And as I parted still he sought	N
New bubbles in their downward haste	N
	-
My onward path I still pursued	N
Till the high noontide sun was o'er me	P
And now though changed in form and mood	N
That Youth and river seemed before me	P
	-
The deepened stream more proudly swept	N
Though chafed by many a vessel's prow	Q
The Youth in manhood's vigor stept	N
But care was chiselled on his brow	Q
	-
Still on the stream he kept his eye	R
And wooed the bubbles to the shore	S
And snatched them as they circled by	R
Though bursting as they burst before	S
	-
Once more we parted Yet again	T
We met though now 'twas evening dim	G
Onward the waters rushed amain	T
And vanished o'er a cataract's brim	G
	-
Though swift and dark the raging surge	U
The Bubble Chaser still was there	L
And bending o'er the dizzy verge	U
Clutched at the gaudy things of air	L
	-
With staff in hand and tottering knee	T
Upon the slippery brink he stood	N
And watched with doting ecstasy	T
Each wreath of foam that rode the flood	N
	-
One bubble more I heard him call	V
And saw his trembling fingers play	A
He snatched and down the roaring fall	V
With the lost bubble passed away	A
