I lay down by the river

Was the war between the water and the bridge

Turn and drink of me

And never more think of me

Carry me

I heard the many voices

Speaking to me from the depths below

This ancient wound

This catacomb

Beneath the whited snow

Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see
The mystery
Of the Word
