How softly the south wind curled
As it touched me this minute—
Oh, how sweet is the world,
How good to be in it!
As it touched me this minute—
Oh, how sweet is the world,
How good to be in it!
VTHE NEW WISH
Glancing new moon, white new moon,
What do you bring in your horn?
Silver light to paint black night
As fair as the early mom?
What do you bring in your horn?
Silver light to paint black night
As fair as the early mom?
Shining new moon, sweet new moon,
Where did you harvest your rays?
In the deeps of dark were you never a spark
Till the sun shone along your ways?
Where did you harvest your rays?
In the deeps of dark were you never a spark
Till the sun shone along your ways?
Sinking new moon, kind new moon,
Will my wish come true some day,
When you're but a ghost of yourself, at the most,
And your glory passes away?
Will my wish come true some day,
When you're but a ghost of yourself, at the most,
And your glory passes away?
VIUNREST
Cherry trees begin to blow,
The crocus blossomed long ago;
But the rose it lingers yet,
With its buds already set.
Rose, will you blossom soon, or no?
The crocus blossomed long ago;
But the rose it lingers yet,
With its buds already set.
Rose, will you blossom soon, or no?
