Here Thomas Dunn English, author of the ballad, "Ben Bolt", wrote "Gauley River". Location: On U.S. Route 60 in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia. Gauley River by Thomas Dunn English The waters of Gauley, Wild waters and brown, Through the hill-bounded valley; Sweep onward and down; Over rocks, over shallows, Through shaded ravines, Where the beautiful hallows Wild, varying scenes; Where the tulip tree scatters Its blossoms in Spring And the bank-swallow spaters With foam its sweet wing; Where the dun deer is stooping Bears down on his prey— Brown waters of Gauley, That sweep past the shore— Dark waters of Gauley That move evermore. Brown waters of Gauley, At eve on your tide, My log canoe slowly And careless I guide. The world and its troubles I leave on the shore I seek the wild torrent And shout to its roar. The pike glides before me In impulse of fear, In dread of the motion That speaks of the spear— Proud lord of these waters, He fears lest I be A robber rapacious And cruel as he. He is off to his eddy, In wait for his prey; He is off to his ambush, And there let him stay. Brown waters of Gauley, Impatient ye glide, To seek the Kanawha, And mix with its tide— Past hillside and meadow, Past cliff and moralls, Receiving the tribute, Of streams as ye pass, Ye heed not the being, Who floats on your breast, Too earnest your hurry, Too fierce your unrest. His, his is the duty As plain as your own; But he feels a dullness Ye never have known. He pauses in action, He faints and gives, o'er; Brown waters of Gauley, Ye move evermore. Brown waters of Gauley, My fingers I lave In the foam that lies scattered Upon your brown wave. From sunlight to shadow, To shadow more dark, 'Neath the low-bending birches I guide my rude barque; Through the shallows whose brawling Falls full on my ear, Through the sharp, mossy masses, My vessel I steer What care I for honors, The world might bestow, What care I for gold, With its glare and its glow: The world and its troubles I leave on the shore Of the waters of Gauley, That move evermore.
