1. She drew off her dress to pour water
And her face blushed with sudden modesty

2. She met the breeze having bared herself
With a grace more delicate than the air

3. And stretched out a hand like water from her
To water prepared in a vessel

4. But when she had sated her thirst and meant
Hastily to take up her gown

5. She saw the watcher's figure draw near
And cast darkness over the light

6. So dawn vanished from her beneath night
And the water kept dripping over water

7. Glory to God who created her
As the most beautiful of women
