Bridge over the Danube

I met my love on Margit hid
Beneath us The Danube
Like a King snake slid
Serpentine and too tempting
We lifted the lid
On the can of worms

River out of Eden
Flow beneath the bridge
Cold inspire of hell fire
And heaven is a fridge
Blue and green and brown
Orange pecan bugs
Sweetly dying on the ground
While chestnuts scorn the rites of Spring
And push their fresh buds out

Bridge of love
Cross over
Who would cross the border line
Migrate, and break
The boundary fence
Clip and snip the pine
Twisted oaks grow on the island
Love lives out in the stream
Two beings brought there
Buda and Pest
To live out a peaceful dream
