Bright mountain brook that flowest at my feet, Forever laving this unheeding stone, The music of thy liquid monotone Unchanging all day long dost thou repeat. Musing I gaze upon thee from my seat, Not lonely, altho never more alone, Since thou art company and I am one To whom thy noise is melody complete. Would I could daily go my way like thee: My voice as soft as thine, my smile as bright, My course as fearless toward that mighty sea That all the streams of life awaits; the night Of gorge and chasm unthought of; my delight To do each day the work appointed me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNCLE JIM'S BAPTIST REVIVAL HYMN by SIDNEY LANIER THE BLACK MONKEY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ELIZABETH CHILDERS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
