By the Rivers Dark

By the rivers darkI wandered on.I lived my lifein Babylon.

And I did forgetMy holy song:And I had no strengthIn Babylon.

By the rivers darkWhere I could not seeWho was waiting thereWho was hunting me.

And he cut my lipAnd he cut my heart.So I could not drinkFrom the river dark.

And he covered me,And I saw within,My lawless heartAnd my wedding ring,

I did not knowAnd I could not seeWho was waiting there,Who was hunting me.

By the rivers darkI panicked on.I belonged at lastto Babylon.

Then he struck my heartWith a deadly force,And he said, ‘This heart:It is not yours.’

And he gave the windMy wedding ring;And he circled usWith everything.

By the rivers dark,In a wounded dawn,I live my lifeIn Babylon.

Though I take my songFrom a withered limb,Both song and tree,They sing for him.

Be the truth unsaidAnd the blessing gone,If I forgetMy Babylon.

I did not knowAnd I could not seeWho was waiting there,Who was hunting me.

By the rivers dark,Where it all goes on;By the rivers darkIn Babylon.
