'She stands

upon the

further side,

between us

flows the Nile;

And in those

waters so

deep and wide,

there lurks a

crocodile.'

'Yet is my love

so sweet, a

word of power,

a charm - the

stream is land

beneath my

feet, and bears

me with no

harm.'

'For I shall

come to where

she stands, no

more be held

apart, and I

shall take my

darling's

hands and

draw her to my

heart...
