Someday, My Columbia


Some day, down the river
And out into the sea,
My Columbia, swift and bright
Will carry me
Through the Gorge
And into the night,

In streams of Pacific majesty,
Onto Hawaiian waters
Where my Mother
Held gentle in eternity,

And from whence
The long ago
Is drawn back,
By time's immortal undertow,

To places in the heart
Where those i've loved
Wait for me to join them,
In the cross currents of infinity.
