Places I love come back to me like music, / Hush me and heal me when I am very tired.

With my singing I can make, a refuge for my spirit's sake; a house of shining words, to be my fragile immortality.

Love in my heart is a cry forever Lost as the swallow's flight, Seeking for you and never, never Stilled by the stars at night

The grass is waking in the ground, / Soon it will rise and blow in waves - / How can it have the heart to sway / Over the graves, / New graves?

Until I lose my soul and lie Blind to the beauty of the earth, Deaf though shouting wind goes by, Dumb in a storm of mirth; Until my heart is quenched at length And I have left the land of men, Oh, let me love with all my strength Careless if I am loved again.

Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

Old love, old love, / How can I be true? / Shall I be faithless to myself / Or to you?
