neath-the

Updated: May 9, 2025

I want to see you prosper and your soul increase in God; therefore I exhort you to meditate upon his law day and night. Down beside the rippling river 'Neath-the weeping willow-tree, Viewing nature sweet and lovely, Wond'ring what must heaven be. List'ning to the merry songsters In the near-by leafy world; Such sweet music seems to bear me Nearer to the gates of gold.
