Let all who search for beauty linger here
By this deep-welling, never failing spring.
Here Milton quenched blind thirst and Will Shakespeare
Drank deeply; where these lichens cling
Sappho's knee rested while she leaned
To watch her shattered image trickle out,
In scattered water-drops go down the years.
Come, come, drink deep and long, drink long and deep;
This spring will never fail. Its waters start
From hidden sources old as mortal speech,
Old as the wonder dark within the heart.
