Dinah Maria Mulock - When Green Leaves Come againDinah Maria Mulock - When Green Leaves Come again
Work rating:
Low
WHEN green leaves come again, my love,
When green leaves come again,--
Why put on such a cloudy face,
When green leaves come again?
"Ah, this spring will be like the last,
Of promise false and vain;
And summer die in winter`s arms
Ere green leaves come again.
"So slip the seasons--and our lives;
`T is idle to complain:
But yet I sigh, I scarce know why,
When green leaves come again."
Nay, lift up thankful eyes, my sweet!
Count equal, lost and gain:
Because, as long as the world lasts,
Green leaves will come again.
For, sure as earth lives under snows,
And Love lives under pain,
`T is good to sing with everything,
"When green leaves come again."
