If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer.
|
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
|
Your hair streaked with sun-light, your lips red as flame, your face with a luster.
|
That puts gold to shame.
|
|
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn.
|
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
|
I've seen how you sparkle, when fall nips the air.
|
I know you in autumn, and I must be there.
|
|
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
|
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
|
|
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in spring-time
|
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
|
Oh, no! not in spring-time.
|
Summer, winter or fall.
|
No, never could I leave you at all.
|
|
No, never could I leave you at all.
