Across The River When She Went

Across The River When She Went

Across the river when she went

She split the river into two

Which even when again it blent

Dividing it indeed she’d do.

But not just on her either side,

Upstream and down, to right and left,

The little lady would divide

The rivulet the lady cleft

In front of her, also behind

(In other words, before and aft)

The farther bank where she would find

The river also would be halved.

Whatever she accomplished by

Her crossing over made it so

That she would be the reason why

Time and the river have to flow.
