Whither? by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Whither? Annotated

I heard a brooklet gushing
&nbsp From its rocky fountain near,
Down into the valley rushing,
&nbsp So fresh and wondrous clear.
I know not what came o'er me,
&nbsp Nor who the counsel gave;
But I must hasten downward,
&nbsp All with my pilgrim-stave;
Downward, and ever farther,
&nbsp And ever the brook beside;
And ever fresher murmured,
And ever clearer, the tide.
Is this the way I was going?
Whither, O brooklet, say I
Thou hast, with thy soft murmur,
Murmured my senses away.
What do I say of a murmur?
That can no murmur be;
'T is the water-nymphs, that are singing
Their roundelays under me.
Let them sing, my friend, let them murmur,
And wander merrily near;
The wheels of a mill are going
In every brooklet clear.
