Me prove it now -- Whoever doubt

Me prove it now -- Whatever[^a1]Whoever doubt
Me stop to prove it -- now --
Come near[^a2]Make haste -- the Scruple! Death be scant
For Opportunity --

[^a1: Whatever | Whatever]

[^a2: Come near | Come near]

The River reaches to my feet --
As yet -- My Heart be dry --
Oh Lover -- Life could not convince --
Might Death -- enable Thee

The River reaches to My Breast --
Still -- still -- My Hands above
Proclaim with their remaining Might --
Dost recognize the Love?

The River reaches to my Mouth --
Remember -- when the Sea
Swept by my searching eyes -- the last --
Themselves were quick -- with Thee!
