Testo The Siren's Admonition

Careful of your secret love!

You are bashful, and beating sighs

Are repeating over the burden

Of your disguise


Wherefore hide your fleeting pearls?

Divers deep never reach the shallows

Why keep them near to the shore?

No use burying there more!



"Sirens, I deliver you,

All I find, I found for you!
I delight in nearing truth

Call me blind--I see I saw

Right through!"



Barefoot in the sands of time

Who can scarcely believe

We're sinking beneath?

Don't hold it, behold it!

It's not yours or mine.



"Sirens, I deliver you

All I find, I found for you

I delight in nearing truth

Call me blind--I see I saw

Right through!"
