Hush, little baby; for the horse at the stream - Black is the water - That flows like a dream - The horse she is thirsty - The water black as ink - The horse she is thirsty - But refuses to drink - What's wrong with the water - What's wrong with the horse ?

Pollution

Sleep,
little flower for the horse
that won't drink.
For the horse starts to weep.
The water flows deeply but in
blood they can drown.
The horse surely dies
it cries out to the mountains
it cries out to the world
Cries out to the river
in a voice loud and harsh
cry for the horsey
that can't bear to drink
cry for the river
with water black as ink.
The horse by the river
won't come any more...
