Explore "Drawing Water. Cottage Songs" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Dark, as if it would not tell, / Lies the water, still and cool: / Dip the bucket in the well, / Lift it from the precious pool!
Up it comes all brown and dim, / Telling of the twilight sweet: / As it rises to the brim / See the sun and water meet!
