Nothing Will Die

Topics: classic

When will the stream be aweary of flowing Under my eye? When will the wind be aweary of blowing Over the sky? When will the clouds be aweary of fleeting? When will the heart be aweary of beating? And nature die? Never, O, never, nothing will die; The stream flows, The wind blows, The cloud fleets, The heart beats, Nothing will die. Nothing will die; All things will change Thro eternity. Tis the worlds winter; Autumn and summer Are gone long ago; Earth is dry to the centre, But spring, a new comer, A spring rich and strange, Shall make the winds blow Round and round, Thro and thro, Here and there, Till the air And the ground Shall be filld with life anew. The world was never made; It will change, but it will not fade. So let the wind range; For even and morn Ever will be Thro eternity. Nothing was born; Nothing will die; All things will change.
