boat - Popular Poems and stories from category

Stars trembling o'er us and sunset before us,
Mountains in shadow and forests asleep;
Down the dim river we float on forever,
Speak not, ah, breathe not - there's peace on the deep

As I drifted on a river I could not control,
No longer guided by the bargemen's ropes
They were captured by howling
Who nailed them naked to coloured posts

Clouds rumbling in the sky; teeming rain
I sit on the river bank, sad and alone
The sheaves lie gathered, harvest has ended,
The river is swollen and fierce in its flow

A boat  beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward
In an evening of July —Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
