Sailing down my dirty stream. Still I love it, and Ill keep the dream that one day, though maybe not this year my Hudson River will once again run clear. It starts high in the mountains of the north, crystal clear and icy trickles forth. With just a few floating wrappers of chewing gum dropped by some hikers, to warn of things to come At Glens Falls five thousand honest hands work at the consolidated paper plant. Five million gallons of waste a day. Why should we do it any other way? Down the valley one million toilet chains find my Hudson so convenient a place to drain. And each little city says Who, me? Do you think that sewage plants come free? Out in the ocean, they say the waters clear but I live right at Beacon [or Manhattan] here, halfway between the mountains and the sea. Tacking to and fro this thought returns to me... Sailing up my dirty stream. Still I love it and Ill dream that some day, though maybe not this year my Hudson River and my country will run clear.
