Do not fear to put thy feet
Naked in the river sweet;
Think not leech, or newt, or toad
Will bite thy foot, when thou hast trod;
Nor let the water, rising high
As thou wadest, make thee cry
And sob; but ever live with me
And not a wave shall trouble thee!
The River-God’s Song was written by Ernest John Moeran & Francis Beaumont.
