It's true my days are dreary nights And the ways are full of thorns, It's true my days are dreary nights And the ways are full of thorns,

I love thee not but only when in morning time when daisies sway, I love thee not but only when in morning time when daisies sway,

With wondrous things in the beauteous sphere, The sun, the moon, the blue sapphire, With wondrous things in the beauteous sphere, The sun, the moon, the blue sap...

In this fleeting life with endless quests For fame and powers and gains, In this fleeting life with endless quests For fame and powers and gains,

Sing the birds; the season has come. Prettiest look when nature does hold. Sing the birds; the season has come. Prettiest look when nature does hold.

Never do weep when I die Forever and ever thy heart is mine Never do weep when I die Forever and ever thy heart is mine

Oh, memories of years passed crystal do they hold. Oh, memories of years passed crystal do they hold.

Darling, hold me in your warm embrace and kiss my tender yearning lips, Darling, hold me in your warm embrace and kiss my tender yearning lips,

You may see me weaving wreaths of flowers With threads of whetted thorns, You may see me weaving wreaths of flowers With threads of whetted thorns,

And He from a height will do the rest! And He from a height will do the rest!
