To join the brimming river ,

The speaker of the poem, the brook itself, explains that
The brook is on its way to be absorbed by the river, which is already huge and overflowing. The brook claims that while humans live short, impermanent lives, the brook itself will always endure.
Rushing along, the brook makes little trickling noises as it travels to the almost overflowing river. The brook reminds the listener that human life is fleeting, but the brook itself is eternal.
The brook describes how it moves along quietly, sometimes looking dark and murky. Other times, the light playfully bounces off of the stream (or perhaps the stream bounces off of the riverbank
The water makes low, quiet sounds as it travels during nighttime, flowing past a forest filled with prickly shrubs. The stream slows its pace when it comes to a sandbank heaped with little pebbles and spends another unhurried moment swirling around the leafy greens (such as watercress) that grow in the shallow waters of the stream.
Once again, the brook continues its winding journey to merge with the big river. The brook reminds listeners that although individual humans are born and die, the brook is eternal.
