Analysis of Oh, Where The River Flows
Oh, Where The River Flows
Does it flow, near or far
It flows through land and trees of bark
Though it's not deep
And really not all that steep
It's teeming with life, old and new
Near and far as the eye can view
Would you lie
Next to the stream
Slowly fall asleep
As you dream
A sight to see, to fellow man
To our golden untouched land

This poem was written about an untouched land that is majestically untouched by man, where there is plenty of life, in the trees, in the river and in the sky.
