I can see why it was thus. It is a poem with a profound meaning. Yes, the river and what it has been for so many people. But the thought here goes beyond it. Much could be said about this touching poem.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve loved this poem since I was introduced to it by Courtney Pines album “modern day jazz stories’ which came out when I was in my teens.

Love Hughes. Had not read this one. So rich.
So, what rivers show depends on the sun?
