    In those fair fields where sacred Isis glides,
    Or else where Cam his winding vales divides?

Two ways the rivers
Leap down to different seas, and as they roll
Grow deep and still, and their majestic presence
Becomes a benefaction to the towns
They visit, wandering silently among them,
Like patriarchs old among their shining tents.

Yet I will look upon thy face again,
My own romantic Bronx, and it will be

A well remembered form in each old tree
And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through
it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over
rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are
