Winter-Spring-Summer Songtext
von Galliard

Winter rain hath thawed the land
Dead and bare the tall trees stand
Freezing with its icy breath
All is chill and drear as death

Yet it seemeth but a day
Since they stack the balmy hay
Since the summer flowers were here
Since they reap the golden ear

Sunny days are past and gone
Onward ever each new one
So the years go speeding fast
Swifter speeding than the last
Than the last


Life is waning, life is brief
Each day like the falling leaf
Death like winter standeth nigh
Soon shall fade and soon shall die

But the sleeping earth shall wake
And the flowers shall burst in bloom
And all nature rising break
Yes, the sleeping earth shall wake
And the flowers shall burst in bloom
Glorious morrow never shall we fear, too

Winter rain hath thawed the land
Dead and bare the tall trees stand
Freezing with its icy breath
All is chill and drear as death

Spring, like a river
Cascades the trees
Suddenly the scented breeze
The air is floating
With things alive
And green and white serenely thrives
