Huub de Lange - 4 Romantic Poems In a green arbour - ноты, текст песни (слова)

In a green arbour, down by the water side,
 There as I lay, I heard a bird complain:
 'Sweet, sweet is love in the flowering springtime,
 but O flown, flown in the cold autumn rain.'
 
 I turned as I lay, and looked at my loved one
 Lying there lightly, and breathing so near, 
 And in the first sunlight ashift through the branches
 I learned me by heart the looks of my dear.
 
 Though fate should bereave me, or fickle love leave me,
 I hold my love safely, where nothing can us part,
 And it still springtime, and the birds still carolling,
 In the green aisles of memory, deep in my heart.
