The going of the glade-boat
The going of the glade-boat
Is like water flowing;
Is like water flowing;
Like water flowing
Like water flowing
Through the green saw-grass,
Through the green saw-grass,
Under the rainbows;
Under the rainbows;
Under the rainbows
Under the rainbows
That are like birds,
That are like birds,
Turning, bedizened,
Turning, bedizened,
While the wind still whistles
While the wind still whistles
As kildeer do,
As kildeer do,
When they rise
When they rise
At the red turban
At the red turban
Of the boatman.
Of the boatman.
