The Torrent

The Torrent

I found a torrent falling in a glen
Where the sun’s light shone silvered and leaf-split;
The boom, the foam, and the mad flash of it
All made a magic symphonie; but when

I thought upon the coming of hard men
To cut those patriarchal trees away,
And turn to gold the silver of that spray,
I shuddered. Yet a gladness now and then

Did wake me to myself till I was glad
In earnest, and was welcoming the time
For screaming saws to sound above the chime

Of idle waters, and for me to know
The jealous visionings that I had had
Were steps to the great place where trees and torrents go.
