One-hundred feet away from the wooden fortress
Past the headless flowers with ribbons at their seams
Right of the cobblestone path carved into light
By your ancestors
The rhine
The father
And in it, the reddest ruby shines
From under 10 feet of cold and restless muddy water
When held up to the sky, the reddest ruby shines
And all the stars you see through it
Will gasp in unison
The reddest ruby shines at night
With 10 feet of water
The rhine
The father
And the rhine
