All Is Safe . . .

Flow, water, the blue water
Little birds of foam
Singing on thee
O flow, water, blue water

Little stars falling asleep

To thy tossing
O flow, water, the blue water
What matters any sorrow
It is lost in thee

Little times, little men

What matters
They are safe in thee
O
Flow, water, blue water
All is safe in thee
Little birds
The shadows of maidens

Safe in thy singing
