I Wandered by a Brookside
Heartfelt Serenity: Discovering Silence and Connection by the Brookside
Lyrics
I wandered by a brook side
I strolled along the side of a brook
I wandered by a mill
I strolled near a mill
I could not hear the water
I couldn't hear the water, it was still
The murmuring it was still
The murmuring sound was absent
Not a sound of any grasshopper
No sound of grasshoppers
Nor the chirp of any bird
No chirping of birds
But the beating of my own heart
Only the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
My heartbeat was the sole sound
The beating of my own heart
Reiteration: My heartbeat was the sole sound
Was the only sound I heard
-Then silent tears fast flowing
Tears silently flowed
When someone stood beside
Someone approached, and my tears continued
A hand upon my shoulder
A hand rested on my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
I recognized the touch as kind
He drew me near and nearer
He brought me closer, without speaking
We neither spoke one word
No words were exchanged
But the beating of our own two hearts
The beating of our two hearts was the only sound
Was the only sound I heard
Reiteration: The beating of our two hearts was the only sound
The beating of our own two hearts
-Was the only sound I heard
-
