Her other works

River, river, little river!

Bright you sparkle on your way;

O’er the yellow pebbles dancing,

Through the flowers and foliage glancing

Like a child at play

River, river! Swelling river!

On you rush through rough and smooth

Louder, faster, brawling, leaping over rocks,

by rose – banks,

Sweeping like impetuous youth.

River, River! brimming river!

Broad and deep, and still as time,

Seeming still, yet still in motion,

Tending onward to the ocean,

Just like

mortal prime

River, river! headlong river!

Down you dash in to the sea

Sea that line hath

never sounded,

Sea that sail hath never

rounded,

Like eternity.
