I am a stream

I’m a stream

That is only found in one’s wildest dream

I make all gaze at me with wide eyed wonder

For even the falls, where water falls like thunder

Never experienced such beauty that touches my feet

And makes the people’s hearts, wildly, do beat.

 

The scenery around me is pleasant to behold

As has oft from mouth to mouth been told

I outdistance, in my beauty, all the adjacent tanks

And people are found thronging my pretty banks.

 

The silvery fish who twinkle, and make my waters sparkle

As they silently move around, and in a way, gargle

Are only a small portion of my unrivalled beauty

And they make me look lovelier, as is their real duty.

 

While singing my praises, one finds a lot to tell

And my name, on every ear, often rings a bell

I’m as proud as I should righteously be

For I’m far more splendid than the ocean or the sea.
