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."
