Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Book of Verses
To mark the gray storm's toil and stress; The brimming river rippleless.
Into the stream the long boat swings; Soft drop her oars, like Sinewy Wings, And more than lifeless steel and wood, She leaps into the middle ?ood.
Her strength is ours, our will is hers, One life Within us thrills and stirs. What joy with rhythmic sweep and sway To ?y along the liquid way, To feel each tense-drawn muscle strain, And hear the dripping blade's refrain; Or, resting on the level oar, To drift beside the dusky shore Through green pads Whispering as We pass, And bending beds of pickerel grass.
