DERWENTWATER. / DEEP stillness lies upon this lovely lake, /The air is calm, the forest trees are still; / The river windeth without noise, and here / The fall of fountains comes not, nor the sound / Of the white cataract Lodore : the voice - / The mighty mountain voice - itself is dumb. / B. W. PROCTOR.
