Flow gently softly water flow On your journey to the sea Passing green fields as you flow Flow silent water flow.
Deep meandering you embrace River and canal a race Rippling water, weir’s and eddies Flow onward never stopping.
Flow swiftly river flow Meet your sisters as you go gathering strength as you speed an urgency to meet the sea.
Kaliste3 When at last your journey end You broaden and expand Giving up to sea unfold Flow gentle river barrow flow.
