THE RIVER WATERS

Posted by Biggus on August 15, 2011 - 08:37
from the ABC set THE NATURAL WORLD - VARIOUS

The river waters
Take their time
Slowly meandering
Through fragrant meadows
Copse and wood
Rural idylls all
Where time stands still.
Swans use a quiet ait
As an islet sanctuary
But the quiet waters
Though slow of purpose
Have no time to dwell
And are reluctantly
Bound for the sea

Nice. I had to look up 'ait', got it in the second dictionary I tried! Thanks!
