Fireflies 97 - 104 lyrics

97

God honours me when I work,

He loves me when I sing.

98

My love of to-day finds no home

in the nest deserted by yesterday's love.

99

The fire of pain traces for my soul

a luminous path across her sorrow.

100

The grass survives the hill

through its resurrections from countless deaths.

101

Thou hast vanished from my reach

leaving an impalpable touch in the blue of the sky,

an invisible image in the wind moving

among the shadows.

102

In pity for the desolate branch

spring leaves to it a kiss

that fluttered in a lonely leaf.

103

The shy shadow in the garden

loves the sun in silence,

Flowers guess the secret, and smile,

while the leaves whisper.

104

I leave no trace of wings in the air,

but I am glad I have had my flight.
