THE RED RIVER OF THE NORTH

 

The Red River of the North

Is born at the confluence

Of the Bois de Sioux

And the Otter Tail

Flowing north through

The Red River Valley,

Forming the border

Of Minnesota and North Dakota

On its journey into Manitoba

Where it washes into Lake Winnipeg

And spreads into the vast deltaic wetland

Known as Netley Marsh

BATHED IN SUMMER SUNSHINE

  Bathed in summer sunshine Gentle breezes stir the stems But above in the golden sun Grow an array of perfect gems
