Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the Blanks

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched 伸展 in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance瞥一眼,

Tossing 甩 their heads in sprightly 盡力充沛的dance.

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:
