Song

by (1855–1930)

Listen in the reader

If words were not so weak To tell our best thoughts, dear, Then I might speak, And you might hear.

If earth were not so bleak, Our roses might not die, — And I might seek And find you nigh.

You found, what should I seek? You mine, what should I need To make this bleak Earth Heaven indeed?
