By The Riverside



on this island breeds men of high rank
by this riverbank, sit i to observe the ripples ashore
by this riverside, saw i the idol of my inside, above the tide
aloof i stand, my proof at hand, my guilt, my filth
my wreath, my sword i sheat, no feast for mans defeat

the venom of her love poisons my soul
it tills me tender
in the river of her love
i long to be drowned

my wit abound, wit love i found
