Tisza’s Child
Daughters
Sons
River deaths:
Faces pale like moons
And hands
Bright stars
Fair children cradle water graves
Vast river
Spirits
Can you hear us pray
Arise
Hear my lullaby
How I wreck my broken love
Upon unlived lives
Vast river
Dark water
I drown in lament endlessly
Spirit guide
River stag arise
Eyes ablaze and hide steaming
Pull treasures from turbid water
Tisza's child clothed in liquid light arise
Awake
Mystify
How I drowning bathe in rivers
That flood all hope in water
Final lord
And I will fly to thee
