WHITE WATER Oh, the passions that lie in the depth of a man That break through the heart and the soul of the land Along swollen rivers, in canyons that lie In foothills where Blue Ridge meets blue of the sky Roll on, sweet Potomac, meander and wind! Flow on, Shenandoah, through rifts of the mind! Keep tumbling down from the hills to the west For there is a dreamer who rides on your crest Reflections of dawn turn to mirrors that pave A white water highway to carry the brave Keep churning and turning o’er bolder and stone You, too, have a beautiful dream of our own! Roll on, lonely river, slip on through the pass Sweet waters will stir salty oceans at last You live every moment in tranquil unrest Like the dreamer whose eye swirls the white of your breast Elizabeth Santos |
