THE HEART OF THE WATER.

 O the ache in the heart of the water that lies

Underground in the desert, unopened, unknown,

While the seeds lie unbroken, the blossoms unblown,

And the traveller wanders—the traveller dies!

O the joy in the heart of the water that flows

From the well in the desert,—a desert no more,—

Bird-music and blossoms and harvest in store,

And the white shrine¹ that showeth the traveller knows!
