FLOW on, ye lays so loved, so fair, <br /> <br />On to Oblivion's ocean flow! <br />May no rapt boy recall you e'er, <br /> <br />No maiden in her beauty's glow! <br /> <br />My love alone was then your theme, <br /> <br />But now she scorns my passion true. <br />Ye were but written in the stream; <br /> <br />As it flows on, then, flow ye too!<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-the-river/
