Viewing lyrics for To The River by Jeremy Schreifels.

The chosen text is from the collected works of Edgar Allen Poe. Merely the wandering of water and love that deeply lies within the flowing of a river. The searching of love and those that we call our “soul mate.”

Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow
Of crystal, wandering water,
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty-the unhidden heart -
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto's daughter;

But when within thy wave she looks-
Which glistens then, and trembles
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks
Her worshiper resembles;
For in my heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lies -
His heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.
