Early Winter on the Brandywine

by Sondra Ball

By the edge of the Brandywine
where weeping willows grow,
I find a fallen tree trunk
still clear of snow.

I sit upon the tree trunk,
watch grey green waters flow
southward towards the Chesapeake
through banks of snow.

I sing to the Brandywine:

green waters,
clean waters,
where do you flow?

I hear the river answer:

over hills,
over rills,
through the white snow.
