Songs of Sebastian B. Schlesinger

Song Cycle by Sebastian Benson Schlesinger (1837 - 1917)

9. Fondly are the flowers looking
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Fondly are the flowers looking
towards the sun so gleaming bright,
swiftly on the streams are running
towards the sea in golden light.

Silently my songs are flutt'ring
towards my love, my love's sunbeam,
and my tears and sighs are flowing
in my songs, my life's sweet dream.
