Little one, little one,
Are you asleep?
Come,
To the river,
When the moonlight is fey.
Come,
Watch the river,
The dead have gathered to play.
Little one, little one,
Do you see what I see?
The river is still,
Yet the river fast,
The water is everything the dead never last.
The river's our blood
Our bones, our fire,
Burning all secrets, leaving nothing but ire.
Little one, little one,
Are you dying?
