He who can make my First to roll
When not a breath is blowing.
May very slightly turn my Whole
To set a mountain going:
When not a breath is blowing.
May very slightly turn my Whole
To set a mountain going:
He who can curb my Second's will
When she's inclined for roving,
May turn my Whole more slightly still
To cure the moon of moving!
When she's inclined for roving,
May turn my Whole more slightly still
To cure the moon of moving!
