TO A MOUNTAIN BROOK by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: BEAUTY AND HEALTH DO COMPANION THEE, FRIEND
Last Line: BORN OF AN IMPULSE DIVINE.
Subject(s): BEAUTY; BROOKS; MOUNTAINS; STREAMS; CREEKS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN);

BEAUTY and health do companion thee, friend,
Boons evanescent and rare;
Daytime and night-tide in loveliness bend
Over thy flight that is fair.

Rarer boon still: It is given to thee --
Far from the fret that is mine --
To hark thine own music, and know it to be
Born of an impulse divine.
