![]() ![]() The poem first appeared in 1950 after the poet found herself mesmerized by the river Mimram. Popularity of “The River God”: “The River God” by Florence Margaret Smith aka Stevie Smith, a popular British novelist, and poet, is an interesting poetic piece about nature.If she wishes to go I will not forgive her. Where the lady waits, with her golden sleepy head. They say I am a foolish old smelly riverīut they do not know of my wide original bed There is no one on earth who does not forget her Waiting for me to smooth and wash away the fear Oh who would guess what a beautiful white face lies there She lies in my beautiful deep river bed with many a weed This beautiful lady, or will she go away? ![]() She bathed in me by the tall black cliff where the water runs cold, O I may be an old foul river but I have plenty of go. Who bathe too close to the weir, contrary to rules.Īs I throw them up now and then in a spirit of clowning. But where my fish float by I bless their swimmingĪnd I like the people to bathe in me, especially women. ![]()
