The River Shall Reach the Sea

A beautiful quote from another website, emphasis mine:

“A wise old mother is Nature—

She guideth her children’s feet

In many a flowery pathway; And her strong life-currents beat, Sometimes in intricate channels— As a mountain stream may run— But ever her purpose triumphs, And ever the goal is won. Her eyes are the eyes of Argus, And she utters her decree: The brook shall come to the river, And the river shall reach the sea.
