What the river says

Each season pens another line each word another day, each passing cloud a moment's thought

What the river says

What the river says
that is what I say.
Each season pens another line
each word another day,
each passing cloud a moment's thought,
each ripple heart's dismay
that what flows by me too must pass.
What the river says, I say.
