The Pool.
Step into the Pool, my darling.
(Do not be afraid!).
Let its waters close about you
Like a fond embrace.
Totally immerse your being
In its lustrous depths;
Give yourself to its calm comfort:
Gently, then, relax!.
Here there is no need for worry,
Here no cause for doubt:
For these waters of contentment –
Set for you apart –
Are the deep-distilled affections
Of my loving heart!.
