"The pool is very deep and cool
and nothing here is hard to do
Nothing that should trouble you"
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pa** this wanderer by
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Foamy blanket river beds
Chorus:
I stand, stand by the water, knee deep
Deep in the fountain, now down, I go under
Then rise up, rise up forever
The waves that mount and tumble high
I meet the melancholy sky
And all I have I count for loss
There in the clouds one single cross
Repeat chorus
"Yes, deeply I have slept
And now I rise as one who has gone down
Into the well springs of new life
Down across the milk white sands
I wade out into the sleepy cove
And bathe in the holy stream
Then suddenly
I shatter the level mirror of the lake
Repeat chorus
Upon an everlasting tide
Into the silent pool I glide
I plunge to wash this black heart clean
And rise a swan upon the wing
Repeat chorus
