Rivers

     Many rivers run

Down to many seas.

     All my cares are one:

On what river of these

Could my heart have peace?

     Two banks to each river.

None where I may stray

     Hearing the rushes shiver

     And seeing the river ever

Run, yet seem to stay.

     Maybe there is another

River, but far in Me.

     There I may meet the Brother

Of mine eternity.

And God will this be?
