So water moves,~ In waves along, 18 III| Seen to endure. For not as water at times~ Gives off the 19 III| smaller much than those~ Of water's liquid damp, or fog, or 20 III| ache,~ By twinge from icy water, or grating crunch~ Upon 21 IV| in mirrors do appear,~ In water, or in any shining surface,~ 22 IV| skies~ Is spread the shining water, all at once,~ If stars 23 IV| Serene and radiant in the water there,~ The constellations 24 IV| beasts. Again,~ A pool of water of but a finger's depth,~ 25 IV| They gaze on naught but water and the sky.~ Again, to 26 IV| poops,~ To lean upon the water, quite agog;~ For any portion 27 IV| to float~ Almost atop the water. And when the winds~ Carry 28 IV| hand and dry a sponge with water soaked.~ Next, all which 29 IV| jordan and then void~ The water filtered down their frame 30 IV| thus, easily~ Desire of water is glutted and of bread.~ 31 IV| slumber seeks~ To drink, and water ne'er is granted him~ Wherewith 32 IV| Besides, how drops of water falling down~ Against the 33 V| in the sun's fire,~ In water, or in ether's skiey coasts.~ 34 V| Since body of earth and water, air's light breath,~ And 35 V| indeed,~ And have not doubted water and the air~ Both perish 36 V| Declareth this. But whatso water first~ Streams up is ever 37 V| seas; in part because~ The water is diffused underground~ 38 V| as goes the tale - the water won~ A kingdom in the fields. 39 V| atmospheres the world.~ And whilom water too began to win -~ As goes 40 V| from the great hills~ The water's down-rush calls aloud 41 V| said to cry~ For rain and water and to call at times~ For 42 V| grass~ Beside a river of water, underneath~ A big tree' 43 VI| its glow~ Down the cold water.
