With fitful winds and granite skies You steal the warmth out of my eyes My aching joints try to remember As to winter, I surrender
You taunt me with your ebb and flow Your cold and warm, your high and low Down winter valleys, I'm a stranger Yet so seduced upon your ranges.
I've tried in vain to run away To other lands, but couldn't stay All sweet lovers, yes it's true But none of them as sweet as you.
There are days I wonder how Our love has lasted up till now And as if proof, against my will You burst out with a daffodil I spring into your fragrant arms Again fall for your heady charms Broad beans, roses, scarlet runner All sultry promises of summer
