Paroles de Autumn

Sitting on the rocks in water On the stone-blocks in the river Take the foam and white capped billows Glowing, rise above the waters Lift thy head above the whirlpool Gather well the foam and billows Autumn, shines through the water Autumn, death and birth, all in same Through the rocky walks and channels Through the surges wildly tossing And the vessel passed in safety Through the dangers of the current Through the sacred stream and whirlpool As it gains the open worlds
