James Russell Lowell - The Fountain
Work rating: Medium

	Into the sunshine,
	Full of the light,
	Leaping and flashing
	From morn till night!

	Into the moonlight,
	Whiter than snow,
	Waving so flower-like
	When the winds blow!

	Into the starlight,
	Rushing in spray,
	Happy at midnight,
	Happy by day!

	Ever in motion,
	Blithesome and cheery.
	Still climbing heavenward,
	Never aweary

	Glad of all weathers,
	Still seeming best,
	Upward or downward,
	Motion thy rest;—

	Full of a nature
	Nothing can tame,
	Changed every moment,
	Ever the same;—

	Ceaseless aspiring,
	Ceaseless content,
	Darkness or sunshine
	Thy element;—

	Glorious fountain!
	Let my heart be
	Fresh, changeful, constant,
	Upward, like thee!
