Poems (Follen)/To a Fountain
TO A FOUNTAIN.
[from the GERMAN OF RAMLER.]
Lo! this fount is flowing ever;
But the fountain prattles never:
Traveller! at this fountain stay;
Learn of it, with pure endeavor,
Good to do, and nothing say.
But the fountain prattles never:
Traveller! at this fountain stay;
Learn of it, with pure endeavor,
Good to do, and nothing say.
