Shady Lake

At the shore of Shady Lake

Where the wind goes to sleep

Trout glide beneath the lily pads

And the tall orange reeds

Now the horned owls call up through red leaves

Who, who comes rising up from the deep?

Two swans with their feathers

Whiter than snow

Twine their necks in a love knot

As gently they float

Hear the soft whispers low in the sweet water's flow

Who, who comes rising up from the cold?

See the blue turtles slip

From the green mossy shore

Down, down they are diving

Down they soar

See the yellow snake coiled in the leaves

Who, who comes rising? Who do you see?

(Who do you see?)

(Who do you see?)

(Who?)
