We thirst at first－'tis Nature's Act－1
And later－when we die－
A little Water supplicate－
Of fingers going by－
It intimates the finer want－5
Whose adequate supply
Is that Great Water in the West－
Termed Immortality－
And later－when we die－
A little Water supplicate－
Of fingers going by－
It intimates the finer want－5
Whose adequate supply
Is that Great Water in the West－
Termed Immortality－
