FOLK SONG

Zero, the chaos and the root
	(Sister, come out of the cold wind)
One the male branch that bears no fruit
	(Sister, the slim rain is falling)

Enharmony of two, the maid
Three the planting of the bed

Four is the everlasting love
But adultery dwells in five

Six is God and Satan; seven
are the stairs that go to heaven

Walk immortal among eight
	(Sister, come out of the cold wind)
We are nine and nine is night
	(Sister, the slim rain is falling).
