"O CUMBERLAND" by- Patsy Jo Reed Sircy O CUMBERLAND, rolling wild and free, keeper of the log, to things we cannot see; Would that you could tell, stories from days past, early history's till your last. O CUMBERLAND, your knife has shaped the shore, carved from joys, and trials, and more; Beneath the surface, lie the tales, that never reached, or rode the rails. O CUMBERLAND, one inch draft can shape it all, certain list can fell the tall; You often pause to pass the blocks, with disdain, you use the locks! O CUMBERLAND, you still view the countryside, watch as different worlds collide; Swiftest currents hide below, reflected beauty's what you show. O CUMBERLAND, your secret's safe with me, I know the you they cannot see; Would I could live to tame the asp, but your writhing power evades my grasp!! 22 MAY 1997
