    Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net,
    leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim
    about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fishermen
    will snatch it out in his own good time.

Three fishers went sailing away to the west,
Away to the west as the sun went down;
Each thought on the woman who loved him the best,
And the children stood watching them out of the town.

The fisher droppeth his net in the stream,
And a hundred streams are the same as one;
And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream;
And what is it all, when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.
