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!
