RIPPLE, ripple, ripple,Goes the little brook,Ripple, ripple, ripple,Backward casts no look;On through vale and woodland,And flowery meadows green,Staying not its progressTo see or to be seen.Ripple, ripple, ripple,Bubbling on its way,Ripple, ripple, ripple—Hark! I hear it say:O foolish man, why dwellest thouOn themes of long ago?Pass by the old, take up the new,Time's fleeting—let me go!

RIPPLE, ripple, ripple,
Goes the little brook,
Ripple, ripple, ripple,
Backward casts no look;
On through vale and woodland,
And flowery meadows green,
Staying not its progress
To see or to be seen.
Ripple, ripple, ripple,Bubbling on its way,Ripple, ripple, ripple—Hark! I hear it say:O foolish man, why dwellest thouOn themes of long ago?Pass by the old, take up the new,Time's fleeting—let me go!
Ripple, ripple, ripple,
Bubbling on its way,
Ripple, ripple, ripple—
Hark! I hear it say:
O foolish man, why dwellest thou
On themes of long ago?
Pass by the old, take up the new,
Time's fleeting—let me go!
