If you can raise (from the dead),
A grain of granite,
From the depths of the earth,
I'll learn to be quiet.
If you can raise (from the dead),
A grain of granite,
I'll learn to make myself smaller.
I saw a snake emerge,
I'd like to be one,
Hanging over your broad pale shoulders.
All that I know,
I'll keep secret.
