15. Where Go the Boats?

DARK brown is the river.
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.

Green leaves a-floating,	5
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
Where will all come home?

On goes the river
And out past the mill,	10
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.

Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children	15
Shall bring my boats ashore
