Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm standing in a cold flood
When I'm going over the lake of tears
I'm watching the glittering stars of the sunshine
A shadow from the venus-pearl
My everywhere blinding and my phantasies
Let red black flames in me dwell
I will join the red honey
On my lips and on my skin? and in me

As I saw the waterbride?
