Amid the forest verdant shade	A
A peaceful river flowed	B
Wild flowers their home on its banks had made	A
The sunbeam's rays on its breast were laid	A
When the light of morning glowed	B
	-
By its marge the wolf had found a lair	C
He roamed through each lonely spot	D
That deep designer the beaver there	C
Built his palace the shaggy bear	C
In the tall tree had his cot	D
	-
And voices sweet were heard on the bank	E
Of the river's gentle flow	F
The whip poor will sang when the sun had sank	E
And the hum drum bee to his home had shrank	E
When the wind of eve did blow	F
	-
The tree frog joined with his sonorous call	G
The grasshopper chirped along	H
The dormice came out of their underground hole	I
The squirrels peeped over their pine tree wall	G
To list to the revel song	H
	-
Nothing disturbed the murmur deep	J
Of the river broad and fair	C
No one awoke it from peaceful sleep	J
Save when floating mice o'er its breast would creep	J
Or the rusty coated bear	C
	-
One morn the sound of an axe was heard	K
In the forest dark and lone	L
Then started with fear the beasts disturbed	M
Their reign was broke at the woodman's word	K
And they scowled with anger on	N
	-
On the river's brink the emigrant's child	O
Passed all his lonely hours	P
He laughed when he ruffled the bosom mild	O
Of the flowing streamlet so bright and wild	O
As it bore his boon of flowers	P
	-
Soon the throng of the forest heard the horn	Q
Of the boat the commerce boat	R
Then they started up from the brake and thorn	Q
And hastening away by the light of the morn	Q
They fled from cavern and moat	R
	-
And the bird peeped out of a pine tree tower	S
And shrank away at the sight	T
The humming bird fled to his rose hung bower	S
The bright bee curled himself snug in a flower	S
O'ertaken by fear and fright	T
	-
And the river which rolled for ages still	U
In a gentle flow unriven	Q
Now bears on its bosom by man's proud will	U
By the arts of industry and skill	U
The blessings to mortals given	Q
	-
Over its billows the steamboats tread	V
With their waters rushing high	W
Or the snowy sail to the wind is spread	V
As the noble bark on her way is sped	V
To the crowded city nigh	W
	-
Oh river bright we sail over thy breast	X
Once bearing wood runners wild	O
But the birds who built on the bank their nest	X
Have fled long ago to the boundless west	X
From thee and from man exiled	O
