Time Is But The Stream
Kevin McCarter
About this work:
The words of this song are from Henry David Thoreau's Walden.
"Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars."
