Tennyson's "A River".

"A Farewell"

Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,

Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,

For ever and for ever.

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,

A rivulet then a river:
No where by thee my steps shall be,

For ever and for ever.

But here will sigh thine alder tree,

And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,

For ever and for ever.

A thousand suns will stream on thee,

A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,

For ever and for ever.

By Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
