More spring creek views

The sun is all about the world we see, the breath and strength of every spring.

~ Algernon Charles Swinburne

The sun, reflecting upon the mud of strands and shores, is unpolluted in his beam.

Spring rapids

Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road,
The secret scarcely lisping of thy beautiful abode
Among the pines and mosses of yonder shadowy height,
Where thou dost sparkle into song, and fill the woods with light.

~ Lucy Larcom, Friend Brook (st. 1)
