The garden

The well is empty, the spring has dried
The ground is barren, the crops have died 
The sun is dark, no light inside
Jilted the bride, no tears to be cried

 

Spring is past, summer is hot
In the draught the fruits do rot
No shadow found where shade is sought
Eden has died and soon forgot

 

Thorns and brambles, the serpent lied
A desert where water is denied
Sucked up by stones where it does hide
Now only sweat born of man\'s pride

 

The only liquid now is bought
Crops watered with blood and snot
