FISHING
A day to dream
Along a stream,
The song of birds
Instead of words,
And pictures rare
Flung everywhere
Instead of smoke
To blind and choke
An atmosphere
That’s sweet and clear,
The trees instead
Of chimneys red.
A patch of sky
To rest the eye;
Instead of noise,
A thousand joys;
Instead of greed
A kindlier creed.
A day to dream
Along the stream,
To think and plan,
Restores a man,
And this he knows
Who fishing goes.
Edward A. Guest
"All streams flow to the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place where streams come from, there they return again."
Holy Bible, King Solomon
