lirik lagu sir cedric hardwicke - shadows in the water

in unexperienced infancy
many a sweet mistake doth lie:
mistake though false, intending true;
a seeming somewhat more than view;
that doth instruct the mind
in things that lie behind
and many secrets to us show
which afterwards we come to know

thus did i by the water’s brink
another world beneath me think;
and while the lofty sp~cious skies
reversèd there, abused mine eyes
i fancied other feet
came mine to touch or meet;
as by some puddle i did play
another world within it lay

beneath the water people drowned
yet with another heaven crowned
in sp~cious regions seemed to go
as freely moving to and fro:
in bright and open sp~ce
i saw their very face;
eyes, hands, and feet they had like mine;
another sun did with them shine
’twas strange that people there should walk
and yet i could not hear them talk;
that through a little watery ch~nk
which one dry ox or horse might drink
we other worlds should see
yet not admitted be;
and other confines there behold
of light and darkness, heat and cold

i called them oft, but called in vain;
no speeches we could entertain:
yet did i there expect to find
some other world, to please my mind
i plainly saw by these
a new antipodes
whom, though they were so plainly seen
a film kept off that stood between

by walking men’s reversèd feet
i chanced another world to meet;
though it did not to view exceed
a phantom, ’tis a world indeed
where skies beneath us shine
and earth by art divine
another face presents below
where people’s feet against ours go
within the regions of the air
compassed about with heavens fair
great tracts of land there may be found
enriched with fields and fertile ground;
where many numerous hosts
in those far distant coasts
for other great and glorious ends
inhabit, my yet unknown friends

o ye that stand upon the brink
whom i so near me through the ch~nk
with wonder see: what faces there
whose feet, whose bodies, do ye wear?
i my companions see
in you, another me
they seemèd others, but are we;
our second selves these shadows be

look how far off those lower skies
extend themselves! scarce with mine eyes
i can them reach. o ye my friends
what secret borders on those ends?
are lofty heavens hurled
’bout your inferior world?
are yet the representatives
of other peoples’ distant lives?
of all the playmates which i knew
that here i do the image view
in other selves, what can it mean?
but that below the purling stream
some unknown joys there be
laid up in store for me;
to which i shall, when that thin skin
is broken, be admitted in
