(1932) Ann Ronell
|
|
Willow weep for me, willow weep for me,
|
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea,
|
Listen to my plea, listen willow weep for me,
|
Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer dream,
|
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream,
|
Sad as I can be - Hear me willow and weep for me.
|
|
Whisper to the wind to say that love has sinned
|
To leave my heart aching and making this moan,
|
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light,
|
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone,
|
Weeping willow tree, weep in sympathy,
|
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me,
|
When the shadows fall, bend oh willow and weep for me.
|
|
To leave my heart aching and making this moan,
|
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone,
|
Weeping willow tree, weep in sympathy,
|
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me,
|
When the shadows fall, bend oh willow,
|
Bend oh willow and weep for me.
