To The Wave

Fair water, still
In thine own purest flow
The clear, refreshing river
An emblem of the brightest glow 

A hidden beauty 
Soiled by human hands 
Thy waters run deep and true
Onto distant lands! 

You keep the memory still
Within thine frozen heart 
And in the wave you resemble 
A truest work of art! 

For in my eye 
I will gaze upon your splendour 
And there I shall find-in moments time
Your calm and sweet surrender!
