The infernal leap

It's too late for me 

It was too late as I landed 

Of that water was I gathered 

Which hatched with maggots 

When you waded in it 

It was too late as I floundered 

It was too late when I saw

The terrible role 

The infernal leap 

It was all too late when I found out 

When the misunderstanding 

Came to pass 

By then we were all too grown up 

And nothing was left of our grass 

Darling I'm in agony 

This bad living's squeaked my pip

Falling like a memory 

Repudiated at the rate of hip

If I could swim up your stream 

And jump your eerie wetness 

Like a trout 

Without a replica 

Bliss would overtake me 

And turn my scales to bone.
