THE BROOK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: It is the mountain to the sea
Last Line: And I have many a mile to go.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Brooks; Farewell; Streams; Creeks; Parting


IT is the mountain to the sea
That makes a messenger of me:
And, lest I loiter on the way
And lose what I am sent to say,
He sets his reverie to song
And bids me sing it all day long.
Farewell! for here the stream is slow,
And I have many a mile to go.
