The Ent and the Ent-Wife Songtext
von Clamavi De Profundis

When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf
And sap is in the bough
When light is on the wild-wood stream
And wind is on the brow

When stride is long
And breath is deep
And keen the mountain-air

Come back to me
Come back to me
And say my land is fair

When Spring is come to Garth and field
And corn is in the blade
When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchard laid
When shower and Sun upon the Earth with fragrance fill the air
I′ll linger here
And will not come
Because my land is fair


When Summer lies upon the world
And in a noon of gold
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves
The dreams of trees unfold

When woodland halls are green and cool
And wind is in the West
Come back to me
Come back to me
And say my land is best

When Summer warms the hanging fruit
And burns the berry brown
When straw is gold, and ear is white
And harvest comes to town

When honey spills, and apple swells
Though wind be in the West
I'll linger here beneath the Sun
Because my land is best

When Winter comes
The winter wild that hill and wood shall slay
When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day
When wind is in the deadly East
Then in the bitter rain


I′ll look for thee, and call to thee
I'll come to thee again

When Winter comes
And singing ends
When darkness falls at last
When broken is the barren bough
And light and labour past

I'll look for thee
And wait for thee
Until we meet again
Together we will take the road
Beneath the bitter rain

Together we will take the road
That leads into the West
And far away will find a land
Where both our hearts may rest
