Appendix 2
Cue card which contains an extract of a line in the stanza taken from the poem
The river’s a wanderer
A nomad, a tramp,
He doesn’t choose one place
To set up his camp.
The River’s a winder,
Through the valley and hill
He twist and he turns,
He just cannot be still.
The River’s a hoarder,
And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.
The River’s a baby
He gurgles and hums,
And sound like he’s happily
Sucking his thumbs.
The River’s a singer
As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.
The River’s a monster
Hungry and vexed,
He’s gobbled up trees And he’ll swallow you next.
