Winter’s frozen moments
Will melt once more to spring,
Birds with peppered feathers
Return once more to sing…
But so high soars the mountain
That though I climb and climb
She always hides her flowers from me…
In long ago’s lost garden
The apple trees will bear
A thousand fruits of red and green
But not one will I share…
For constant must I travel
And in some far off land
Lie down once more remembering…
Will melt once more to spring,
Birds with peppered feathers
Return once more to sing…
But so high soars the mountain
That though I climb and climb
She always hides her flowers from me…
In long ago’s lost garden
The apple trees will bear
A thousand fruits of red and green
But not one will I share…
For constant must I travel
And in some far off land
Lie down once more remembering…
