Naught moves but clouds, and in the glassy lake Their doubles and the shadow of my boat.
The boat itself stirs only when I break This drowse of heat and solitude afloat To prove if what I see be bird or mote, Or learn if yet the shore woods be awake.
Long hours since dawn grew -- spread -- and passed on high And deep below -- I have watched the cool reeds hung Over images more cool in imaged sky:
Nothing there was worth thinking of so long;
All that the ring-doves say, far leaves among, Brims my mind with content thus still to lie.
