Deep runs the ocean
shallow goes the river
many rivers do flow deep
yet there be a difference.
The sea being fathomless
with a salt in the foreground
flowing no matter
whether it rains or shines.
The river being solemn
having tasty
water running through
overwhelming during rain
drying up at times of summer.
The distinctions are many
these being a very few
marking the main forms
that of great and good.
