Whisper and I shall hear Matches base text
Language: English
If, in the summer morn, dear, You wander amid the flow'rs, If you feel sad and lone, dear, Thinking of past glad hours; Just breathe my name to the woodlands, Sigh what your heart would say; I know I shall hear your message, dear, Borne on the breeze away! O winds that blow from the south, Sighing so soft and low, Whisper your secret sweet, Whisper, and I shall know! O winds that blow from the south, Breathe in mylist'ning ear, Come from the heart of my love; Whisper, and I shall hear! If, when you're weary, darling, You wander at gloaming tide, Where, by the stream and meadow, we wander'd side by side; Just whisper, you love me, darling, Say that your heart is true, Whisper, you love me, darling, Just as you used to do. O winds that blow from the south etc.
