Did you hear the summer’s wind pass by?
Did you feel the sun on your cheek?
The butterfly’s wings in your dreams
Did you fall asleep under the linden tree?
Did you hear the rippling river of early spring
Far away in the vast forest?
The wind harp is playing a verse for itself
By the desert farm and the plow
Did you hear the song from the time of years of life?
Surely you sang in the refrain?
It was a long time ago, now you rest in peace
A shining flower in the meadow
Did you hear the rippling river of early spring
Far away in the vast forest?
The wind harp is playing a verse for itself
By the desert farm and the plow
Did you hear the song from the time of years of life?
Surely you sang in the refrain?
It was a long time ago, now you rest in peace
A shining flower in the meadow
