To Joseph Jefferson
May 4th, 1898.—To-day, fishing down the Swiftwater, I found Joseph
Jefferson on a big rock in the middle of the brook, casting the fly for
trout. He said he had fished this very stream three-and-forty years
ago; and near by, in the Paradise Valley, he wrote his famous play.—Leaf
from my Diary.
We met on Nature’s stage, And May had set the scene,With bishop-caps standing in delicate ranks,
And violets blossoming over the banks, While the brook ran full between.
The waters rang your call, With frolicsome waves a-twinkle,—They knew you as boy, and they knew you as man,
And every wave, as it merrily ran, Cried, “Enter Rip van Winkle!”
