See the lonely riverboat Go sailing by, the air does sigh See the grass bank water flow Fall and rise, it waves the skies And the news from the town It's all around, country bound Come a-walking through the day Forget the time, it's just today Walk the lanes and fields Feel the golden down, the whisper green River, tell of their ways Their smoky schemes, broken dreams Sometimes turning my head Time hurries by all the things you have said Waiting, hoping in spring I see you near, see you so clear Songs of praises, summer ladies Fresh as frost, they wander lost Pastime seizing, sadness breezing All my ways, October days You are growing in vain You're shrinking fast, your shadow's cast Sometimes turning my head Time hurries by all the things you have said Waiting, hoping in spring I see you near, see you so clear
