Green River by William Cullen Bryant
When breezes are soft and skies are fair,
I steal an hour from study and care,
And hle me away to the woodland scene,
Where wanders the stream with waters of green,
5 As if the bright fringe of herbs on its brink
Had given their stain to they wave they drink;
And they, whose meadows it murmurs through,
Have named the stream from its own fair hue.
