Robert Laurence Binyon - An Hour lyrics

Together by bright water We sat, my love and I. Light as a skimming swallow The perfect hour went by With words like ripples breaking On full thoughts softly waking; With thoughts so dear and shy That no word dared to follow. Down by that sunny water The spring's sweet voice we heard. The wind, the leaves' young lover, My love's hair gently stirred. An hour ago we parted; I wander heavy--hearted. Heavily, like a wounded bird, The day lags, night draws over.
