Is bliss, then, such abyss
Is bliss, then, such abyss / I must not put my foot amiss
Sweet is the swamp with its secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'T is then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take
At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is summer's treason,
And guile is where it goes.
Is bliss, then, such abyss / I must not put my foot amiss
Who has not found the heaven below / Will fail of it above.
A light exists in spring / Not present on the year
Superiority to fate / Is difficult to learn.
