A wonderful stream is the River Time
As it runs through the vale of tears,
With a faultless rythym, a musical rhyme
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime,
As it blends with the ocean of years.

There's a magical isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of songs are plaing;
There's a cloudless sky, and a tropical clime
And a tune as sweet as a vesper chime
And the Junes with the roses are straying.

There are hands that are waved at this beautiful shore:
When the mist has lifted in air
And we sometimes hear through the restless roar
Sweet voices heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river was fair.

And remembered for always is this blessed isle,
All the days of our life till its night
And when our evening glows with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in last slumber
While that wonderful isle comes in sight.
