The Forest Stream

Let us pause here my friend

Where the trees and waters meet

Where the air is silent and clear

And the breeze is sweet


For look the forest stream flows

Treading through the trees

From the highest mountains it roams

To the intrepid seas


Oh how different the forest is

From the shinning shore

The stream shall know the forest’s quiet

And the ocean’s roar!


Yet listen to its song

So joyful and light in the sun

In the moment that it is here

The forest and it are one


Its sparkle lights the gentle banks

And carries the fallen leaves

And the song which it plays forever

Is the tune of the breeze


In this moment, yes a moment

A moment is eternity

For the sea is miles away

And all around are trees
