Spring comes hither

Language: English 
Spring comes hither
  Buds the rose;
Roses wither,
  Sweet spring goes.
Ojalà, would she carry me!

Summer soars --
  Wide-winged day
White light pours,
  Flies away.
Ojalà, would he carry me!

Soft winds blow
  Westward borne,
Onward go
  Towards the morn.
Ojalà, would they carry me!

Sweet birds sing
  O'er the graves,
Then take wing
  O'er the waves.
Ojalà, would they carry me!
