“Listen to the Water-Mill: Through the live-long day How the clicking of its wheel Wears the hours away! Languidly the Autumn wind Stirs the forest leaves, From the field the reapers sing Binding up their sheaves: And a proverb haunts my mind As a spell is cast, "The mill cannot grind With the water that is past.” MindLongPastWaterHoursFieldsWindCastsForestsWheelsAutumnSpellsGrindMillsBindingLong DayReaperAutumn Wind Book:Sarah Doudney: Selected Poems and Hymns Source: Sarah Doudney: Selected Poems and Hymns
