Did you see him there by the willows bending?

The moon's white shots fell like rain from on high

The love from his eyes floated, rivers unending

Into the sands where the spring of our hearts had run dry



Did you see him there and hear his soft calling?

The love sweet song rising from bottomless pain

The lord of our woes, on his wide shoulders falling

He bears in his mercy to break hatred's reign



Did you see him there in the ages of song?

His truth too simple for man to endure

I long to die for him there and I could not

And the dawns treat the sky with rose and azure



Did you see him there?

Did you see him there?

Did you see him there?

Did you see him there? ... there
