I've barely pulled her out of the water
Upon the slippery stones of a quay
Near the bridge. All attempts to revive her
Have failed. Just betrothed to Grim Reaper,
She has given in. And it seemed
That the mob's screams still echoed around
In the tingling damp quiet,
otherwise undisturbed.
In teeth-gnashing fury I tried to revive her
To wrest her back from that cattle... But no:
Whatever I tried could help her no more.
'She is dead, don't you see?' Someone's voice
Got me startled. I've upsprung, drew the knife...
But a man with a lamp, who approached so silently,
Meant me no harm. He just came to the body and
Lit her pale face, letting out a sigh:
'I knew this poor lass, she was one of us...' -
'Who?' I have asked in confusion.
'Come with me, I will show you', he said, and before
I could do anything, pushed the docile body
Back into the dark water saying just 'Let her go.'
'Is this all,' I resented, ‘that she is worth of?'
'Let the dead bury their dead', he calmly responded,
'Her spirit still lives on, and now it is free,
While ours are not'. 'I don't know about yours',
I said, 'Mine is intact. No one has purloined it,
And nobody will'. Then the man brought his lamp
Close to my face and said: ‘Yes, you must be
The one, we've been seeking for quite a long time.
Come with me, and you'll meet people like you." At this moment
A strange sound arrived from the top of the bridge.
'We must move on,' the man said. 'Or we are in trouble,
Try to make little noise and don't lag behind'...
