$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / I had an errand there: gathering \ | water-lilies, green leaves and lilies | | white to please my pretty lady, the | | last ere the year's end to keep them | | from the winter, to flower by her | | pretty feet till the snows are melted. | | | | Each year at summer's end I go to find | | them for her, in a wide pool, deep and | | clear, far down Withywindle; there they | | open first in spring and there they | | linger latest. | | | | By that pool long ago I found the | | River-daughter, fair young Goldberry | | sitting in the rushes. Sweet was her | | singing then, and her heart was | | beating! | | | | And that proved well for you--for now I | | shall no longer go down deep again | | along the forest-water, no while the | | year is old. Nor shall I be passing Old | | Man Willow's house this side of | | spring-time, not till the merry spring, | | when the River-daughter dances down the | | withy-path to bathe in the water. | | | \ -- J.
