Curiouser and Curiouser

Through the city a wide river flows,
Beneath the span of seven bridges,
A thousand pretty girls stroll its banks,
And every one is different.

You pass from heart to heart, warming your hands
In the glowing radiance of love,
A thousand pretty girls stroll its banks
And they are all the same…

— Jaroslav Seifert
