Stars trembling o'er us and sunset before us, <br />Mountains in shadow and forests asleep; <br />Down the dim river we float on forever, <br />Speak not, ah, breathe not - there's peace on the deep. <br /> <br />Come not, pale sorrow, flee till to-morrow; <br />Rest softly falling o'er eyelids that weep; <br />While down the river we float on forever, <br />Speak not, ah, breathe not - there's peace on the deep. <br /> <br />As the waves cover the depths we glide over, <br />So let the past in forgetfulness sleep, <br />While down the river we float on forever, <br />Speak not, ah, breathe not - there's peace on the deep. <br /> <br />Heaven shine above us, bless all that love us; <br />All whom we love in thy tenderness keep! <br />While down the river we float on forever, <br />Speak not, ah, breathe not - there's peace on the deep.<br /><br />Dinah Maria Mulock Craik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-our-boat/
