“How beautiful the water is! To me 'tis wondrous fair-- No spot can ever lonely be If water sparkle there; It hath a thousand tongues of mirth, Of grandeur, or delight, And every heart is gladder made When water greets the sight.” IfsHeartMadeBeautifulWaterThousandFairsLonelySightDelightTongueSpotsGrandeurWondrousSparkleMirth Author:Elizabeth Oakes Smith

The earth is dried and parched with heat, And it hath long'd to be Released from out the selfish cloud, To cool the thirsty tree.” LongEarthWaterHalfTreeRainFlowRiversCloudsSelfishHeatRushingThirstyFrantic Author:Elizabeth Oakes Smith
