First Line: Lazily floating between the green hills
Last Line: Then under the bridges of brunswick town!
Subject(s): Boats; Delaware (river)
Lazily floating between the green hills,
Wheat-field and meadows, -- oh, might I be
Back in those days on the old Raritan,
Up from the Delaware through to the sea!
Dreaming away the long slow hours
From earliest dawn till the sun goes down,
Gliding by Princeton and glimpsing the towers,
Then under the bridges of Brunswick town!
