Explore "To the River" by Edgar Allan Poe on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow / Of crystal, wandering water, / Thou art an emblem of the glow / Of beauty -- the unhidden heart --
The playful maziness of art / In old Alberto's daughter;
But when within thy wave she looks --
Which glistens then, and trembles --
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks / Her worshipper resembles;
For in my heart, as in thy stream, / Her image deeply lies / His heart which trembles at the beam / Of her soul-searching eyes.
