"The pool is very deep and cool and nothing here is hard to do Nothing that should trouble you" Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pa** this wanderer by Lakes that endlessly outspread Foamy blanket river beds Chorus: I stand, stand by the water, knee deep Deep in the fountain, now down, I go under Then rise up, rise up forever The waves that mount and tumble high I meet the melancholy sky And all I have I count for loss There in the clouds one single cross Repeat chorus "Yes, deeply I have slept And now I rise as one who has gone down Into the well springs of new life Down across the milk white sands I wade out into the sleepy cove And bathe in the holy stream Then suddenly I shatter the level mirror of the lake Repeat chorus Upon an everlasting tide Into the silent pool I glide I plunge to wash this black heart clean And rise a swan upon the wing Repeat chorus
