Along the channel
of the river of sunbright heaven
the upper waters
by a precious bridge are spann'd;
'tis the lower waters
a boat bear floating on them.
So if it raineth
and with the rain wind bloweth,
and if it bloweth
and with the wind rain raineth,
with garb unwetted
still mayest thou cross to me,
to me by yon fine bridge cross!
