So, putting all that together and adding my two cents, here's what I come up with. I'm sure Reinhard is right about "wander," but it's clear in the recording that Martyn sings "travel."

SUSQUEHANNA
(words by Robert Louis Stevenson, adapted by Martyn Wyndham-Read)

Of late as I did travel my heart filled with despair
I came upon a wondrous sight which drove away my care
Where glittering waters glide and magic filled the air
Beside the Susquehanna and along the Delaware

Of where and how I do not know and why I do not care
From now until forevermore my soul will wander there
By flood and field and sunlit hill by wood and meadow fair
Beside the Susquehanna and along the Delaware

I think and hope and dream no more the dreams of otherwhere
Of things that were and might have been this man has ceased to care
For I have breathed too long, too deep, the lotus in the air
Beside the Susquehanna and along the Delaware
