I. Prelude
Life, with here a smile,
with there a tear, relentless river
Moves from day to day, from year to year, Nor lingers ever
Love upon its banks imploring stands in anguish calling,
Stands with yearning eyes and outstretched hands,
and soft tears falling
Life thy ways are long,
thy end end is dark, and we unknowing
Whence it was we came or why embark Or with outgoing
Live and love awhile
And pray at last to reap our sowing
II. Down in the forest (Spring)
Down in the forest something stirred So faint that I scarcely heard;
But the forest leapt at the sound, Like a good ship homeward bound
Now in the morning of life I stand And I long for the touch of your hand;
I am here at your door
Oh love we will wait no more
III. Love, I have won you (Summer)
Love, I have won you and held you
In a lifelong quickening dream;
When the meadows sprang fair with flowers
And the river was all agleam
Warm shone the sunlight around us,
And clear were the skies above,
Till the stars peeped forth in the twilight
And the moon rose pale with love
Love I have won you and held you
Life has no more to give
Then come to me here in the sunshine
It is summer, ah, let us love
IV. The winds are calling (Autumn)
The winds are calling and the friendly voices die
The rain is falling from out a frowning sky
Then let us say it quickly, you and I
Goodbye
If taught that I have told you, should bring a moment pain
Love I will take and hold you, within my arms again
And press you closely to my heart before we part
Then let us say it quickly, you and I
Goodbye
V. Drift down, drift down (Winter)
Drift down, drift down from the skies
Little white snowflakes falling fast
Like sleep that falls on tired eyes
To bring us peace at last
Fall soft, fall soft on my love,
Little white snowflakes drifting down,
Messengers from the skies above
On the winds of passion blown
