In a mountain,<br/>
Drops of water ran<br/>
Trickling through the grasses;<br/>
So our brook began.</p>
<p> Slow it started;<br/>
Soon it darted,<br/>
Cool and clear and free,<br/>
Rippling over pebbles,<br/>
Hurrying to the sea.</p>
<p> Children straying<br/>
Came a-playing<br/>
On its pretty banks;<br/>
Glad, our little brooklet<br/>
Sparkled up its thanks.</p>

Mimic boating,<br/>
Fishes darting past,<br/>
Swift, and strong, and happy,<br/>
Widening very fast.</p>
<p> Bubbling, singing,<br/>
Rushing, ringing,<br/>
Flecked with shade and sun.<br/>
Soon our pretty brooklet<br/>
To the sea has run.</p>
