An old pond dreams it's dancing
with a full moon floating in its arms.
Gliding over its glowing skin a swan
"sings its capacity as desire"—

Swanee, how I love you, how I
love you, my dear old Swanee.

Walking on autumn's colors past
a hollowed-out tree, we are born
and die like a long
boat sailing on
turbulent waters, in which every
stroke incubates its succession—

even though my mammy's
waiting for me, praying for me
down by the Swanee.
