A young man bent over a pond Of which he was obsessively fond And he lowered his head To get a drink from her bed
He lapped up the water with his tongue His eyes were open, his head was hung And water came rushing into the pond As he drank it continued to spawn
When he felt that his thirst was quenched And his fists by his side were excitedly clenched He lifted his head, sitting by her shore The pouring water rushing no more.
