River


                             Restless river ceaseless flows.
                             Boatman floats boat and rows,
                             ruffling water on stroke of oar.
                             Brittle ripples thrash on shore,
                             raising little splashing sound.
                             Breeze blows, leaves murmur around.
                             Restless river runs and rushes,
                              makes way through bushes,
                              cities, towns, or farming land
                              on river bank or solitary strand.
                              Restless river turns back never,
                               but flows and flows for forever.
                              Restless river runs, rushes 
                              ruffling raising little brittle ripples
