Pine moon, spoke too soon Black lake, spoke too late But what same words could these two know When one is so deep, the other to glow? Black lake, lay low and wide While pine moon arced across the sky Well some nights her lights came on the waves And some days coals turned up from the bottom Pine moon spoke all a-scattered That the stars were all linked, as if that really mattered The unknown deep of the black lake Could only reach the moon if he evaporates
So though he lay quiet, and deep he held out The depths were foundations to find the rest out As still as a well, mysterious hymns She closed one eye slowly, her light became dim She couldn't see how to give her light to the water Looking up from the depths, he didn't know how to want her And what same things could these two know When one is so deep, the other to glow? And what same things could these two know When one is so deep, the other to glow?
