Excerpt from The Architect of Cologne: And Other Poems
The Architect Of Cologne.
A. D. 1248.
Between its lovely banks the brimming river
Flows down to meet the sea,
Changing its crystal water-drops forever,
Yet one eternally.
They pass away, these wavelets, and the ocean
Returns them to the sky.
The river, all unchanged in smile and motion,
Flows on eternally.
It does not lose one dimple, growing older,
As year by year rolls by.
The self-same tremulous curves around the boulder
Hover eternally.
Unchanged, though ever-changed, the self-same river,
While ages change and die,
Pride of our land, the beautiful life-giver,
It lives eternally.
