Description

Photo of a man and woman by a rushing river. The man may be fishing. Caption in white: "Oft I listen with ears that are eager / To catch, through the city's dull dream, / The musical dash of the waters, / As they beat on the pebble-strewn stream. / For the land of the swift-flowing water -- / That wild land of the water trhat's white / Sends it call through the distance between us, / As I heard it there, once, in the night." The caption continues further down the page, leaving a gap for a photograph that has since become detached. "And--hear oft the rorar of the rapid / As the water is dashed into spray / On the boulders that hinder its rushing, / Tho. a dozen days' journey away. / For my heart holds the sound of its music / To refresh me when other things fail, / When the days have been weary and toilsome. And I long for the wild-- / for the trail."
