Kunjamuck River Song

Song: Kunjamuck River
Music & Lyrics: AI

[Verse1]
From Elm Lake's clear and open eye,
The Kunjamuk begins its flow,
A whisper where the mountains lie,
And shadowed hardwoods softly grow.
It leaves the light of wider skies,
To wander where the alders meet,
With mirrored turns of pure surprise,
A current languid, slow, and sweet.
[Verse2]
The paddle dips, a quiet sound,
As serpentine the canoe bends,
Through marsh and mossy forest ground,
With heron guards and wilder friends.
It charts a course of tangled grace,
Past beaver dams and water weeds,
A hidden, peaceful, wilder space,
Where nature's silent story reads.
[Verse3]
The sky above, a ribbon bright,
Is framed by hemlock, lean and tall,
A fleeting, ever-changing sight,
Reflected in the river's thrall.
And where the mountains, far and deep,
Are etched against the western sun,
The gentle Kunjamuk will keep
The quiet peace till day is done.
