Excerpt from Poems of Penacook Come trickling down in ceaseless, lustrous flow, To blend in rills and brooks, that rippling glide And babbling haste to seek the channel wide, Where waters many mingle and with zeal, And rush, and dash, and rout, compete for rest And rapture in the boundless, shining sea. Through ever fertile meads of living green, This river winds, and oft on either hand Some grander height, adorned with leafy pride, Invites the eye that dwells on prospects fair; While in the bosom of the stream, that glows With daylight's fervor, lie sweet gems of isles, The jewel glints of nature's sunlit smile: And broader, rarer, richer, thus the scene Compels delight far to the ocean wave. Upon the surface of this river bright, One sweeps the oar, or, in its limpid depths. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
