My parting gift
Language: English
White wings in an open sky, Clouds circling in the wind's embrace, Sands that lie close to the sea, All the glories of a western sun, Pour down on me! Oh, my love! That I might give these As my parting gift! The memory of a summer's night, The ecstasy of sea and wind, Birds in flight, and the sun pouring down its ancient light. Oh, my love! That I might give these As my parting gift!
