I murmur under moon and stars
In brambly wildernesses;
I linger by my shingly bars;
I loiter round my cresses.
Paraphrase: The river flows through the bushy wilderness creating a soft and low sound at night under stars and moon. It flows leisurely over the rounded pebbles which obstruct its pace and flow. The brook moves around cresses growing near its bank.
(a) What is ‘brambly wilderness?’
(b) Where does the brook murmur?
(c) Where does the brook loiter round?
