The Idle Demon.R.P. Lister.
I can’t resist a little Lister:
Postscript to
Die Schone Muller.
The freshet springs from woodland cleft,
Its waters crystal clear and cool;
The lovesick youth, of sense bereft,
Leaps madly in the swirling pool.
Quelled are his turbulence and woe
Who loved the miller’s daughter;
And in the village far below
They take to filtering the water.
