At the Well Richard Hageman

When the two sisters go to fetch water
They come to this spot and they smile
They must be aware of somebody
Who stands behind the trees
Whenever they go to fetch water

The two sisters whisper to each other
When they pass this spot
They must have guessed the secret
Of that somebody who stands behind the trees
Whenever they go to fetch water

Their pitchers lurch suddenly, and water spills
When they reach this spot
They must have found out that somebody's heart is beating
Who stands behind the trees
Whenever they go to fetch water

The two sisters glance at each other
When they come to this spot, and they smile
There is a laughter in their swift stepping feet
Which makes confusion in somebody's mind
Who stands behind the trees
Whenever they go to fetch water
