By The River Poem by Peter S. Quinn

By the river in the far
Glowing silvery in lay
Like a glisten thread star
In the morning of its day
Every river is going
To the ocean far and deep
In spring tuning glowing
Of day’s footsteps keep

On and on to distance
Like new hope in its try
Making growth abundance
And outlook going by
You and I like this dream
In the date of our still
Flush coming onward beam
Every hope to fulfill

By river through the flow
We must surmount everything
Like the waves that on go
And in spatters shall sing
This is living to this day
That has come forward on
In its many glistening play
That to freedom has gone
