Stupande strand, al och ek,
berg och grotta, murgrön och mossa.
Böljorna brotta sig väg under lek,
fräsa och frossa, delas ibland,
skumma kring stenar, hängande grenar;
omfamna rusande, gröna förtjusande,
småtäcka öar med störtande sjöar,
spegla fjällens soliga toppar,
stänka i höjden pärlande droppar,
rinna och klinga, susa och springa,
skina i blått, skumma i vitt,
nyckfullt och fritt.

Vila i grått, stålklara, grunda,
skugga i grönt, gulddjupt och skönt,
saftiga, sunda,
krusas och darra i violett,
lova och narra på tusen sätt
stenar som skina ljusa och fina,
stenar som natten, sköljda av vatten.

Fåglarna flyga i flöjtande skaror,
ormarna smyga som levande snaror.
Framom försilvrande
björkstammen, virvlande,
sjöarna stupa ner i det djupa.
