Lady of the Nile

Beauteous lass Thy wounds are bleeding! Crowning crowning where thou go on? Mothers weep and babies feeding Crowds on crowds and trumpet blow on! Wearest thou thy wedding garments Then which grief thy heart thus torments? Darkling darkling lonesome pathways And between them Thou were standing! Train of stars with Moon and all fays Goddess Dream on earth is landing Wondering heart His beating ceases Blood from veins this scene squeezes Smoke in vale from hearths is rising Winds in dales and woods are whistling Kids in yard folk tales are listening Bird in feathers wrapped her nestling Smoke is rising from the clay hearth Clouds are pouring tears on wet Earth Candle flames in gloom are flickering Sailors all boats row and row on Niles Queen thy story listening Souls from heaven come and go on Play in childhood thou in thy meads Waves of Nile by Hamlet flow on Gathered thou sea shells and sea weeds Wild wild airs meanwhilist blow on Sea mermaid on water floating Boatmen sing songs as they row on Lord is focusing cameras at thee Writing fate on heavens while He Pipes and timbral thou are hearing Whilst tears from thine eyes flow on Saddest pain which thy heart bearing? Filled with tears wherest thou go on? All maids of king on thee wait on Beauteous soul on Nile shores come on Crowds and crowds of people on shores Head to toe thee eyes are watching Bowing heads all queens and all moors Chairs on chairs on shores they launching With thy feet they stones are tieing Whilst clouds and breezes sighing They are leading thee to high waves And all roses on thee throw on Watching thou thy wistful heart caves And thy love with thee now go on Fling they thou in holy Nile waves Thy pure love on banks for thee wails I can't see thou come out goddess? Beauty Queen tell are thou Hearing? I'll help thee in thy distress Silent stars and meads are listening Hamlet folk's all hearts are bleeding On the banks thou see them kneeling I know all that wherest thou go Stars on ways for thee are standing Goddess moon and death in boats row Bands of angels on waves landing Watery Queen , come on don't be late Eden Lord for thee on Skies wait!
