down there the river glitters br the fishes leap with a dance in the sun br their joyous fins flutter and sing br and they dive back into the river again br br here where the Sea meets the River br the fishes leap with a howl br their fins flap in the burning sun br and they dive back into the angry Waves again br br in their nothingness they see the harvestmen br bending reeds in the blazing pool br it is noontide, the fishes are in a wanton Song br the words offend my Ears and defile my Tonguebr br Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiesebr br
