From Spring Days To Winter (For Music)

Topics: classic

In the glad springtime when leaves were green,     O merrily the throstle sings!     I sought, amid the tangled sheen,     Love whom mine eyes had never seen,     O the glad dove has golden wings!     Between the blossoms red and white,     O merrily the throstle sings!     My love first came into my sight,     O perfect vision of delight,     O the glad dove has golden wings!     The yellow apples glowed like fire,     O merrily the throstle sings!     O Love too great for lip or lyre,     Blown rose of love and of desire,     O the glad dove has golden wings!     But now with snow the tree is grey,     Ah, sadly now the throstle sings!     My love is dead: ah! well-a-day,     See at her silent feet I lay     A dove with broken wings!     Ah, Love! ah, Love! that thou wert slain     Fond Dove, fond Dove return again!
