Talking Water

Title:     Talking Water
Author: Herbert Edward Palmer [More Titles by Palmer]

Last night I walked in the fern lands
And heard the words of the brooks.
What need has a weary man's spirit
With phrases from books!

The timid fish splashed in the shallows,
The sad wind sobbed in the reeds;
And I soothed with the whispering water
A wound that bleeds.

[The end]
Herbert Edward Palmer's poem: Talking Water
