THE BROOK, by                    
First Line: Oh! I wonder, now I ponder
Last Line: To the river I will play.
Subject(s): Brooks; Streams; Creeks


Oh! I wonder, now I ponder,
Let me glide along;
I am ever happy
Singing my song.

Gliding gently round the mossy mound,
Now I toss a pebble;
On and on I go,
Singing, singing ever as the ripples flow.

Leaping! dashing! wondering!
Down the mountainside,
I shall reach the river
Ere the eventide.

The breeze speaks to the wild flowers
As I pass them by,
Gliding swiftly on my way
To the river I will play.
