Water and Flowers

by (1876–1940)

Listen in the reader

Here are flowers, O my Beloved, Here are flowers; Let us lay our hearts today Among the flowers; Let us not be led astray By the mirage far away; Here is verdure, and in verdure Love embowers.

Here are springs, O my beloved, Here are springs; Let us rest and build a nest Near the springs; Let us cease our weary quest For the mountains of the blest; Here is water, and in water Blessing sings.
