Contented river

In thy dreamy realm

The cloudy willow and the plumy elm

Thou beautiful

From ev'ry dreamy hill

What eye but wanders with thee at thy will

Contented river

And yet over-shy

To mask thy beauty from the eager eye

Hast thou a thought to hide from field and town

In some deep current of the sunlit brown

Ah there's a restive ripple

And the swift red leaves

September's firstlings faster drift

Wouldst thou away dear stream

Come whisper near

I also of much resting have a fear

Let me tomorrow thy companion be

By fall and shallow to the adventurous sea
