Fountain

Walking amidst encumbered world I stumbled upon a lonely fountain The snow falls from the mountains And heavy rain destroys my sandals So I sigh heavily, but alas, it is to no avail The water is cold The heart is heavy A bird flies from branch to branch Chirping away its worries Since there are no waters left in this world Only this fountain can heal the hearts wounds I dive my head in; Strange are the sounds of rain And clouds of pain And hearts' strains I find myself in this golden hall Filled with soft flowing water Here, the heart is healed How sweet are those waters! How rare are they! Another day ends, another journey begins Never again shall I be thirsty Never again will I forget this fountain Never again will water stop flowing And never again shall heart be smitten As long as this fountain does not escape the vision Never again shall I have a need for another strain
