BY ALFRED TENNYSON.
I COME from haunts of coot and hern; I make a sudden sally, And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley
By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges;
By twenty thorps, a little town, And half a hundred bridges.
Till last by Philip's farm I flow, To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.
I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles;
I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret, By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow
I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.
I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling,
And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel, With many a silvery waterbreak
Above the golden gravel;
And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go. But I go on forever.
I steal by lawns and grassy plots
I slide by hazel covers; I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance Among my skimming swallows,
I make the netted sunbeam dance Against my sandy shallows.
I murmur under moon and stars, In brambly wildernesses;
I linger by my shingly bars; I loiter round my cresses.
And out again I curve and flow To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.
