Our glass of 'the water of life' brims over, Our thrice-rich, flowering native song,
Prodigal and gay. And, when my song is done, I'll lie with you, my Lover.”

Sad as the Earth, and strong
As mortal love.”

And with too fair a name -
That day I lingered on a hill
For one who never came.”

cry over still water, a sound only reaching us now”
