Letter "R" » Rivers
"At last the Muses rose, . . . And scattered, . . . as they flew,
Their blooming wreaths from fair Valclusa's bowers
To Arno's myrtle border."
Author: Mark Akenside
About: Rivers
"Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes!
My peace with these, my love with those.
The bursting tears my heart declare;
Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr."
Author: Robert Burns
About: Rivers
"Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise."
Author: Robert Burns
About: Rivers
"Ayr, gurgling, kissed his pebbled shore,
O'erhung with wild woods, thickening green;
The fragrant birch and hawthorn hoar
Twined amorous round the raptures scene."
Author: Robert Burns
About: Rivers
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree;
Where Alph, the sacred river ran,
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About: Rivers
"Yet I will look upon thy face again,
My own romantic Bronx, and it will be
A face more pleasant than the face of men.
Thy waves are old companions, I shall see
A well remembered form in each old tree
And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy."
Author: Joseph Rodman Drake
About: Rivers
"And see the rivers how they run
Through woods and meads, in shade and sun,
Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,–
Wave succeeding wave, they go
A various journey to the deep,
Like human life to endless sleep!"
Author: John Dyer
About: Rivers
"The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is
turned topsy turvy.)"
Author: Euripides
About: Rivers
"O Mary, go and call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
Across the sands o' Dee;"
The western wind was wild and dank wi' foam
And all alone went she."
Author: Charles Kingsley
About: Rivers
"Out of the hills of Habersham,
Down the valleys of Hall,
I hurry amain to reach the plain;
Run the rapid and leap the fall,
Split at the rock, and together again
Accept my bed, or narrow or wide,
And flee from folly on every side
With a lover's pain to attain the plain,
Far from the hills of Habersham,
Far from the valleys of Hall."
