the flowers of the forest - felix mendelssohn lyrics

Loading...

i’ve seen the smiling of fortune beguiling
i’ve tasted her pleasures and felt her decay:
sweet was her blessing, and kind her caressing
but now they are fled, fled far away

i’ve seen the forest adorn’d the foremost
wi’ flowers o’ the fairest, baith pleasant and g*y:
sae bonny was their blooming, their scent the air perfuming
but now they are wither’d and a’wede away

i’ve seen the morning with gold hills adorning
and loud tempests roaring before parting day;
i’ve seen tweed’s silver streams, glitt’ring in the sunny beams
grow drumlie and dark as they roll’d on their way

o fickle fortune, why this cruel sporting
why thus perplex us poor sons of a day?
thy frown cannot fear me; thy smile cannot cheer me
since the flowers o’ the forest are a’wede away

- felix mendelssohn lyrics
