Linden Harp ‎#71a

71a. A water song

1 Each flower holds up
A dainty cup,
To catch the rain and dew;
The drink of flowers,
That falls in showers,
Is just the drink for you;
The drink of flowers,
That falls in showers,
Is just the drink for you.

2 The stars so bright,
That gem the night,
In the round heaven of blue,
Fling down their beams
Upon the streams
Which flow with drink for you:
Fling down their beams
Upon the streams
Which flow with drink for you.

3 That nightingale
Which charms the vale,
From yonder fountain flew;
The song-bird's drink
Should be, I think,
The drink for birds like you:
The song-bird's drink
Should be, I think,
The drink for birds like you.
