The summer was sweet and the flowers were blooming
|
The wind was as gentle and sweet as a kiss
|
The great northern lights danced above us till morning
|
The stars were like diamonds, we each made our wish
|
|
The mountains were green and they climbed to the heavens
|
The rivers ran sparkling down to the sea
|
Your laugh like a bell filled my heart with such gladness
|
Our songs they were happy, our voices were free
|
We built a green bower of willows and roses
|
Sang of our pleasures and sang of our woes
|
How could we have known this would be your last summer
|
How precious the bower, how precious the rose
|
|
The world without you has gone dark as the winter
|
The sounds of the river are frozen and still
|
The lark has grown silent, the stars have no luster
|
But I'll live through this darkness, I know that I will
|
|
I know I will find you among the bright flowers
|
We'll walk in the rain and we'll dance in the wind
|
We'll build a green bower and fish all the rivers
|
We'll watch the stars fall and we'll smile once again
|
|
I still love you more than the earth and its beauties
|
You are all my seasons, we never shall part
|
For though I have lost you, you live on forever
|
Oh, joy of my future, oh child of my heart
|
