Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,Thy tribute wave deliver:No more by thee my steps shall be,For ever and for ever.Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,A rivulet then a river:Nowhere by thee my steps shall beFor ever and for ever.But here will sigh thine alder treeAnd here thine aspen shiver;And here by thee will hum the bee,For ever and for ever.A thousand suns will stream on thee,A thousand moons will quiver;But not by thee my steps shall be,For ever and for ever.
