I walked down along the Sirion today
And found a poem.
Here, where the trees overhang
Dwells silence.
Above, the river gossips with geese
Below, it tumbles the laughing fishes.
But here, there is pause to daydream,
The only sound
The falling of a leaf upon water.

I love the imagery in this - it somehow puts me in mind of Yeats and Innisfree. Really beautiful!

This poem is so simple. Which is why it's so memorable.
The whole thing feels like a stroll along the river, if that makes sense: no elaborate sound-play or wordplay, no frills, just simplicity. I particularly like the line "And found a poem." And the last line is phrased perfectly and, again, feels like what it's describing.
