pour forth

Flow out abundantly

To pour forth is to emit or express abundantly, often with force or passion.

Water pours forth from a spring; words pour forth from an impassioned speaker.

The phrase suggests continuous, copious flow rather than measured release: Gratitude poured forth from the crowd.

More literary than simply "pour out."
