Quiet timeless water flowing
Sparkling twinkling moving on
Children thoughtfully leaning over
Pointing and whispering hearing its song
Old man whiskers carefree and wild
Digs in the pole slowly glides
Looks at the children thinks of his own
Under the bridge but never alone
Beating of air suddenly still
Splash whoosh of feet wings pulling back
Suddenly settled slow and majestic
Queen of the river never away
Sounds from the distance tractor and dog
Echo cross meadows sun going red
Shadows and cool air mosquitoes move round
Another day closes but the river flows on
