The she creature rose
From depths of the darkness
And smoothly swam
To the brambled banks
There in the moonlight
The gold bottle beckoned
And glistening with water
She stepped from the lake
Her tawny hand, grasped
The round amber bottle
And bowing her head
Inhaled the mixture
Citrus and spices
Danced in the darkness
And tears from the trees
Escaped the elixir
The amber spoke
Of tales from the past
And balsam of twigs
Poured out her heart
The nymph from the lake
Danced in the darkness
This golden elixir
Would ne're from her part
