A syndicated program of poetry and music originating in Cincinnati. 

Moon River is fifteen minutes of pure relaxation as poetry is read out with “Clair de Lune” playing hypnotically on the organ in the background. As well as the poetry there is often beautiful singing from the DeVore Sisters, Doris Day and others. Each episode ends with the same closing poem by which time you’ll be well relaxed.

Down the valley of a thousand yesterdays
Flow the bright Waters of Moon River
On and on, forever waiting to carry you
Down to the land of forgetfulness,
To the kingdom of sleep,
To the realm of Moon River,
A lazy stream of dreams
Where vain desires forget themselves
In the loveliness of sleep,
Moon River,
Enchanted white ribbon
Twined in the hair of night,
Where nothing is but sleep
Dream on sleep on
Care will not seek for thee.
Float on drift on
Moon River…to the sea.
