¶Lyrics / Text

Upon the river’s silvery breast, Beneath some overhanging tree, A cool and leafy canopy. For there the sunrays cannot fall, And reign triumphant over all, The golden shower awhile is stayed, And hearts all hail the welcome shade! O it is sweet awhile to rest, As sinks the sun within the West; To watch each gold and crimson beam, Disport upon the flowing stream; To hear the ripples whisper low, As soothingly they ebb and flow, And seem to sing, amid their play, sing farewell to the dying day!
