Dear Stream! Dear Bank! Lyrics by George Dyson

Quo Vadis

0

Dear stream! dear bank, where often I
Have sate and pleas'd my pensive eye
Why, since each drop of thy quick store
Runs thither where it flow'd before
Should poor souls fear a shade or night
Who came, sure, from a sea of light?
With what deep murmurs through time's silent stealth
Doth thy transparent, cool, and wat'ry wealth
Here flowing fall
And chide, and call
As if his liquid, loose retinue stay'd
Ling'ring, and were of this steep place afraid;
The common pass
As clear as glass
All must descend
Not to an end
But quicken'd by this deep and rocky grave
Rise to a longer course more bright and brave
The God of love my Shepherd is
And He that doth me feed;
While He is mine and I am His
What can I lack or need?
Yea, in death's shady black abode
Well may I walk, not fear;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
To guard, Thy staff to bear
Surely Thy sweet and wondrous love
Shall measure all my days;
And as it never shall remove
So neither shall my praise
