IN THE DEPTHS

 Down along the river bank

Feet deep in the sand

Be careful and not too loud

As danger could be at hand

She lurks in water awaiting her prey

Even if it takes the whole long day

With her beautiful voice she sets a trap

And captures you in a snap!

With sallow skin and parched hands

And eyes as dry as dust

She’ll pull you down into the depth

No one will know where you’re kept.

Maham Noman IX O
