A Re-working of Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung – Chapter 1

Part 1: The Rhinegold | Scene 1 | On the Bed of the Rhine

“From left to right by nature’s design

Flows continuously the ready river Rhine

Lighter turquoise evenly spread

Becoming darker towards the bed

Near the floor the water dissipates

Leaving an increasingly breathable state

This vaporous man-sized space

Moves continuously and at a pace

Across the floor of the riverbed

Where no man can naturally tread

Are rough rocks and undercurrent tides

And vertical caverns unimaginably wild.“
