River and Autumn Light
Nivaldo Diaz
Flow River, flow
Through your path so well-known now
Reflect in your glow
From whence your strength came and how
From your birthplace
Above rocks which form your bed
Barriers you face
Are ploughed over as you tread
Cherish the Love
That like the River surmounts
Heaven above
And bravely cuts through the mounts
Flow River, flow
Carry with your strength the pain
As seasons go
Fill the emptiness again
