PEBBLES by KENNETH SLADE ALLING

First Line: WHO FIRST HEARD THE HIGH AND SILVER TREBLE
Last Line: AND FOUND THE FOREST A NEW TUNE.
Subject(s): BROOKS; STREAMS; CREEKS;

Who first heard the high and silver treble
Of pebble striking upon pebble.
Like the blaze of music from a harp
The water chords but through them sharp
These came. The cupped hands of the brook,
Taking the stones, together shook
Each hard, translucent minor moon
And found the forest a new tune.
