Isolated into two particular segments, "Spring" and "Summer," the assortment reports an excursion down the Ohio and the changing scenes and quirks of stream that follow. Hamilton offers a personal involvement in the normal world, yet doesn't avoid sharing the effects of industry and the overwhelming outcomes human effect has had on the stream.

Hamilton's verse faces the current twofold of essential nature and the business that lives together a similar region. He portrays the presence of industry gently, not especially accusatory, yet additionally with intense consciousness of the devastation unleashed on the stream.
