In the poem 'The River', the poet compares the flow of the river witth different   .The first stanza explains how the sparkling river goes
dancing over  and glancing through the flowers and leaves. These acts
of the river is compared to a curious and innocent   at play. The second stanza compares the river to a    who goes through rough and smooth patches of life. Like a youth, here the river becomes louder, faster and everything all along the way. In the third stanza, the river becomes like a hard working man who is at the  of the life. Here the deep and broad river seems  but it keeps moving towards the sea like a matured man who silently marches towards the goal. In the last stanza the long    of the river reaches the endless sea like a human life attains eternity.
