Come, love, across the sunlit land

Come, Love, across the sunlit land,

As blithe as dryad dancing free,

While time slips by like silvery sand

Within the glass of memory.

Ere Winter, in his reckless glee

Blights all the bloom with ruthless hand,

Come, Love, across the sunlit land

As blithe as dryad dancing free.

And all the years of life shall be

Like peaceful vales that wide expand

To meet a bright, untroubled sea

By radiant azure arches spanned

Come, Love, across the sunlit land

As blithe as dryad dancing free.
