As il swept along in it's narrow bed,
Chatting in wrath, and pride
Little by little, and day by day"
And with every wave it bore away
A grain of sand from the banks which lay
Like granite wall on either side.

Covered the valley far aud wide,
For the mighty banks were gone;
Little by little. aud day by day.
\ grain at title. they were swept away,
And now the fields and meadows lay
Under the waves, for the work was done.

For the young, unwary feet;

Into the broad and llowery way.

Up to the region of endless light;
