Lyrics
Once I was a Hower Fair and large in shape Rainbow-winged the insects That from my chalice ate
The rivers sang me hymns Of beauty without end And jewel-breasted birds Were enticed by my scent
Then they cut the thread Of all my emrald splendour And placed me in her hair To mingle with her grandeur
That night she passed away I know not how she died
Ihad hoped to share With her eternal night
But a strange wind entered Spreading my leaves dead Scattering them in ruin On her cold death-bed
Yet my ghost remained... Like a faint perfume I do now haunt her grave Her silent chamber's gloom To stay with her forever
Like a faint perfume...
The rivers sang me hymns Of beauty without end And jewel-breasted birds Were enticed by my scent
Then they cut the thread Of all my emrald splendour And placed me in her hair To mingle with her grandeur
That night she passed away I know not how she died
Ihad hoped to share With her eternal night
But a strange wind entered Spreading my leaves dead Scattering them in ruin On her cold death-bed
Yet my ghost remained... Like a faint perfume I do now haunt her grave Her silent chamber's gloom To stay with her forever
Like a faint perfume...
