Quiet On The River

[Verse 1]
Quiet on the river
Quiet in the town
Quiet is my lady
When the snow is falling down

[Verse 2]
When the snow is falling down
Soft on the hill
Fall on the balsam tree
Standing so still

[Verse 3]
Standing so still
With their boughs bending down
Head in the air
Roots in the ground

[Verse 4]
With their roots in the ground
Ready and willing
To grow around a boulder
Or to scatter her seedling

[Verse 5]
Or to scatter her seedling
Tender and wild
As she stands in the way
Of the winds of the world

[Verse 6]
And the winds of the world
May be sweet or may be foul
Blow a body all which way
Unless he knows himself well

[Verse 7]
Unless he knows himself wеll
Be he a lover, bе he a scholar
Snow falling down
Soft on the river

[Verse 8]
Quiet on the river
Quiet in the town
Quiet is my lady
When the snow is falling down
