Dew-Drops on a Lotus Leaf: 6 Spring #2

Song Cycle by Florence Marga Richter (1926 - 2020)

1. The spring's pure flowers
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Days and months pass over, 
Trailing change and death,
Till to my pondering heart the world 
Seems empty drift and shadow—
When lo - my eyes uplifting, I behold 
The spring's pure flowers — sweet, unfailing —
Once again—
Touching the earth with gentle beauty, 
As they have ever done in years gone by.
