Subject(s): Seashore; Spring; Water; Beach; Coast; Shore
I am the sand through which the waters of the spring are filtered.
Along muddy banks the waters flow, and through swampy fields. ... But they
pass through my heart, and are cleansed and purified.
I am the sand, the silent, vanishing sand by the waters of a living Spring.
... And the waters eat away my substance.
I am the silent sand, the modest sand, that cattle trample with their feet,
as they drink the water I have made clear for them.
