    Yet I will look upon thy face again,
    My own romantic Bronx, and it will be
    A face more pleasant than the face of men.
    Thy waves are old companions, I shall see
    A well remembered form in each old tree
    And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy.

O'erhung with wild woods, thickening green;
The fragrant birch and hawthorn hoar
Twined amorous round the raptures scene.

banks are fringed by large Ponderosa pines. In the slanting sun
of late afternoon the shadows of great branches reached across
the river, and the trees took the river in their arms.

And see the rivers how they run
Through woods and meads, in shade and sun,
Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,--
Wave succeeding wave, they go
A various journey to the deep,
Like human life to endless sleep!
