Low-Anchored Cloud [Mist]
Low-anchored cloud,Newfoundland air,
Fountain-head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream-drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the daisied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers,
Bear only perfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just men's fields!
-Thoreau

Thoreau uses some interesting words here like "fays," referring to fairies and "fenny," which comes from fen and means "marshy."
