Hi there !

_______________________

The word 'Chatter' has been repeatedly used in the poem. The first used is, “I chatter over stony ways”. The second use is, “I Chatter, Chatter as I flow.”

The word 'chatter' means to talk quickly in a friendly way without stopping. The poet uses the appropriate words to denote the non stop talking sound of the Brook, while it is negotiating its stony ways with the sound of the following river is repeatedly called 'chatter' as it is constant, non-stop and friendly.
