She changed herself into the grass, the grass, the grass,
She changed herself into the grass,
In the verdant field.
He changed himself into a harvester, harvester, harvester
He changed himself into a harvester,
He had her in harvesting.
[Refrain:]
They are two on the path
There’s Florence and there’s John
And they fly all day
On a great white horse,
But I have to tell you,
I who am three thousand years old,
That John loves Florence,
And Florence loves John.
She changed herself into the hare, the hare, the hare,
She changed herself into the hare,
Of that forest which is so vast.
He changed himself into a hunter, hunter, hunter,
He changed himself into a hunter,
He had her in hunting.
[Refrain]
She changed herself into a story, story, story
She changed herself into a story,
In a children’s book.
He changed himself into a storyteller, storyteller, storyteller,
He changed himself into a storyteller,
He had her in the telling.
[Refrain]
She changed herself into the star, the star, the star,
She changed herself into the star,
At the height of the star-spangled vault.
He changed himself into a worm, worm, worm,
He changed himself into a worm,
He had her in watching her.
[Refrain]
