A Children's Rhyme

White Bride one, White Bride two,

We’re waiting in the dark for you,

Black Bride three, Black Bride four,

Angels’ children are at your door,

White Bride five, White Bride six,

Not priest, nor church, nor crucifix,

Black Bride seven, Black Bride eight,

Can save you from the open gates,

White Bride nine, White Bride ten,

What you knew once, you forgot then
