5. River,river,little river!
Bright you sparkle on your way;
O’er the pebbles dancing,
Through the flowers and foliage glancing,
Like a child at play.
River,river!swelling river!
On you rush through rough and smooth;
Louder,faster,brawling,leaping,
Over rocks, by rose-banks,sweeping
Like impetuous youth.

WHERE IS THE RIVER BORN?
WHERE DOES IT SPENT ITS YOUNGER DAYS?
WHET HAPPENED TO THE RIVER WHEN IT
APPROACHES THE OCEAN?

THE RIVER IS BORN IN THE MOUNTAINS.

APPROACHES THE OCEAN.
