Current River runneth, clear daylight stream Flowing along tree-lined idyllic dream
With blue spring hydrants, so pristine sublime
Pour forth fresh waters, pure crystal divine
Quiet meanders, backwater eddies
Fluid descent, tide timeless and steady
Fork pointed islets, rush white water shoals,
Fill deep silent pools, the depth of ye soul
Cascades hasten, through rocky defiles
Then gentle again, calm pastoral nile
High bluffs deep hollows, flank free rivulet
Sky white clouds above, calm waters reflect
Flora and fauna, quaff free from ye shores
Peaceful paradise of biblical lore
Enchanted river, oh noblesse esprit
Onward eternal, flow on to the sea.

Captures the feelings of floating in springtime in the Ozarks.
yes when solo canoe
Ohh. I like this one.
Timeless, and takes me back. Thanks, Paul!
You make a float on the Current feel like a spiritual awakening.
It can be during springtime if away from the throng
A cool drink of water on a stifling hot day. Very calming.
