Deep in sunny silvery water,

Sandy bottom down below,

You are plunging, all your body

Bare, and white as snow.

One arm held downward from your face,

Easy as a thought you swim

In that clear underwater world,

Stretching, curving, smooth, and slim.

Now like a slender spear released

You feel cool water stream

Past your breast, and water-broken

Sunlight on your shoulder gleam.

Liquid-clear the water swirls

Behind you as you glide,

And yields like air and pours

Cool along your side.

From your knees the bubbles break

In upward showers of light,

And all around your head the hair

Is floating long and bright.
