Glide gently

Language: English

 Glide gently, thus for ever, ever glide,
 O Thames! that other bards may see
 As lovely visions by thy side
 As now, fair river! come to me.

 O glide, fair stream, for ever so,
 Thy quiet soul on all bestowing,
 Till all our minds for ever flow
 As thy deep waters now are flowing.
