   Behold the flashing waters
  A cloven dancing jet,
  That from the milk-white marble
  For ever foam and fret;
  Far off in drowsy valleys
  Where the meadow saffrons blow,
  The feet of summer dabble
  In their coiling calm and slow.
  The banks are worn forever
  By a people sadly gay:
  A titan with loud laughter,
  Made them of fire clay.
  Go ask the springing flowers,
  And the flowing air above,
  What are the twin-born waters,
  And they?ll answer death and love.
  
  With wreaths of withered flowers
  Two lonely spirits wait
  With wreaths of withered flowers
  ?fore paradise?s gate.
  They may not pass the portal
  Poor earth-enkindled pair,
  Though sad is many a spirit
  To pass and leave them there
  Still staring at their flowers,
  That dull and faded are.
  If one should rise beside thee,
  The other is not far.
  Go ask the youngest angel,
  She will say with bated breath,
  By the door of mary?s garden
  Are the spirits love and death.
