I have wandered to a spring in the forest ______ and dim,
The sweet quiet stirs about me—
The ______ twinkles at me,
As I stoop to dip my cup,
As I stoop to drink—to him.
True, I’m ______ half in earnest—I touch the cool, wet brim—
He’d ______ if he could see me—
I’m glad he doesn’t ______ me,
As alone with my queer gladness,
I ______ to drink—to him.
