Mist by Henry David Thoreau — Read

Explore "Mist" by Henry David Thoreau on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Low-anchored cloud, / Newfoundland air, / Fountain-head and source of rivers, / Dew-cloth, dream-drapery, / And napkin spread by fays;

Drifting meadow of the air, / Where bloom the daisied banks and violets, / And in whose fenny labyrinth / The bittern booms and heron wades;

Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers, -- / Bear only perfumes and the scent / Of healing herbs to just men's fields.
