The path is clear though no eyes can see   The course laid down long before   And so with Gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen   Though many times they've seen the way to leave      He rides majestic, past homes of men   Who care not or gaze with joy   To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair   The scene of death is lying just below      The mountain cuts off the town from view   Like a cancer growth is removed by skill   Let it be revealed   A waterfall, his madrigal, an inland sea, his symphony      Undinal songs, urge the sailors on   Till lured by the sirens cry      Now as the river dissolves in sea, so Neptune has claimed another soul   And so with Gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen   Until the shepherd leads his flock away   The sands of time were eroded by the river of constant change
