Where does the River Rhine rise?   Where does the River Rhine rise?   Where does the River Rhine rise?   It rises in her eyes      When I look in her eyes   I see the River Rhine   I see the river widen: she sees the Clyde in mine      The elm, the elm, the spreading elm   The finest in the Rhineland Realm   Gives so freely of her withy   Beyond the Scabbard of Priapus   How fiery and free the sap is!   In the towering, towering, towering ashes      The ashes tower, elm-enshaded   And her lashes flay green-bladed   The trees decay, the trees decay and fall   On the margins of the Clyde, running with the Rhine inside   And the Clyde inside the River Rhine   And so her eyes in mine
