Leaves and rain and the days of the year
Water-willow and wellaway
All these fall, and my soul gives ear
And she is hence who once was here
With a wind blown night and day
Ah! but now, for a secret sign
The willow's wan and the water white
In the held breath of the day's decline
Her very face seemed pressed to mine
With a wind blown day and night
O love, of my death my life is fain
The willows wave on the water-way
Your cheek and mine are cold in the rain
But warm they'll be when we meet again
With a wind blown night and day
Mists are heaved and cover the sky
The willows wail in the waning light
O loose your lips, leave space for a sigh
They seal my soul, I cannot die
With a wind blown day and night
Leaves and rain and the days of the year
Water-willow and wellaway
All still fall, and I still give ear
And she is hence, and I am here
With a wind blown night and day
With a wind blown night and day
With a wind blown day and night
With a wind blown night and day
With a wind blown day and night
With a wind blown night and day
With a wind blown day and night
With a wind blown night and day
With a wind blown day and night
