FLOW, Rio Verde! In melody flow; Win her that weepeth To slumber from woe; Bid thy wave's music Roll through her dreams -- Grief ever loveth The kind voice of streams. Bear her lone spirit Afar on the sound Back to her childhood, Her life's fairy ground; Pass like the whisper Of love that is gone -- Flow, Rio Verde! Softly flow on! Dark glassy water So crimsoned of yore! Love, death, and sorrow Know thy green shore. Thou shouldst have echoes For grief's deepest tone -- Flow, Rio Verde!
