When I sit beside the lake in daylight, The world seems to breathe more gently. The water is still, calm, and shining. your face appears upon its surface— And I am lost in you—vague dreamily When I sit beside the lake at twilight, The red light falls on the silent water; Your face awakens, pale and infinite. Then it melts softly into the water— I fear your soul is fading with the lake.

The Eerie Lake
When I sit beside the lake in daylight, The world seems to breathe more gently. The water is still, calm, and shining. your face appears upon its surface— And I am lost in you—vague dreamily When I sit beside the lake at twilight, The red light falls on the silent water; Your face awakens, pale and infinite. Then it melts softly into the water— I fear your soul is fading with the lake.
