First Line: Will it always be like this until I am dead
Last Line: And cannot answer at all.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


Will it always be like this until I am dead,
Every spring must I bear it all again
With the first red haze of the budding maple boughs,
And the first sweet-smelling rain?

Oh I am like a rock in the rising river
Where the flooded water breaks with a low call --
Like a rock that knows the cry of the waters
And cannot answer at all.
