Spinning where the waters run!

Let's unravel them till none

Rests to mock what we have done."

(Tense with hope lay Wêland-Smith.)

From the blue lake's flowery brim

(Still your breathing, Wêland-Smith!)

From the sweet lake's flowering brim

These three maids did dive and swim.

Oh, the flash of pearly limb

Visioned through the waters dim!
