| S is for Swimmer written by William Henry Davies |
| From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925 |
When I had crossed the hill at last,
And reached the water's brink,
'For once, in all my life,' thought I -
'I'll swim in water fit to drink.
'In this calm lake, so clear and pure,
Which has no weeds or thorns,
I'll send a thousand small blue waves
To butt the rocks with milk-white horns.
'I'll laugh and splash till, out of breath,
My life is almost done;
And all that's left is one wild hand
Above me, clutching at the Sun!'
