Water it

Little Stone…

“How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone, 
And does n’t care about careers,

And exigencies never fears; 
Whose coat of elemental brown                              
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun, 
Associates or glows alone, 
Fulfilling absolute decree 
In casual simplicity.”
