WHERE THE KIVEU MEETS THE SEA, Gently slope the grassy hil'si 'ei Down to meet the yellow sicd, One by ono the ripp'ing wav. lets i Softly break upon the s'ran l; Snow-white gleam the seagulls' pit io ss, Sua.mer winds blow s'rotg and free O'er the crimson heather blossom 3 Whsre the river maets tha sea. Ebbing, flowing, surge the waters Round the curving* of tha bay, Where tne little children scramble On the rocks the liv-do -.g day ; Gith'ring brighthued shellsand seaweed ' Shouting in their Cirelest glee, , Dreaming not of storm and shipwreck, Wfcere the river meets the s.a, 1 Long ago my life was radiant As the sun kissed buoyant wave, Now my deart st hopes are buried Deep ni;h;n a lonely grave ; In tho cha cbyard by the waters She is waiting now for me, And the waves her dirgs are singing Where the river meets the sea. J. P. Burke, New Plymouth, Augus l -, 1903.
