There is peace by the river
Far off from the town,
Where the woods arc all golden,
And rosy, and brown;
Where the geese sail the water
Like yachts in the breeze
And the rustic Of Autumn
Is heard in the trees.
There is peace by the ripples
That sing With delight
AS they dance DER the shadows
A-glint in the light.
There is gladncss and respite
From cares OF the grind
Where the many are hungry,
The few, fed and wined!
