The river sings <br />A voice rises above <br />Fairer than the water, rings <br /> <br />I know you well <br />For the river has told <br />All there is to tell <br /> <br />It sung of a maiden <br />Fair as the water’s song <br />Her heart heavy laden <br /> <br />Though she sang <br />Her song was sorrowed <br />In voice the sadness rang <br /> <br />No words were needed <br />The river knew <br />Her voice it heeded <br /> <br />She walked alone <br />Her gaiety was lost <br />River, her only home <br /> <br />She listened to the water <br />Telling a story <br />Calling her River Daughter <br /> <br />The river sang, through day and night <br />Sang for her, the only listener <br />She joined the song, through dark and light <br /> <br />She called to her lover <br />Come free me! <br />Called with song and river<br /><br />Rachel Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-river-sings/
