[Twist me a crown of wind-flowers]
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers;
That I may fly away
To hear the singers at their song,
And players at their play.
That I may fly away
To hear the singers at their song,
And players at their play.
Put on your crown of wind-flowers:
But whither would you go?
Beyond the surging of the sea
And the storms that blow.
But whither would you go?
28
And the storms that blow.
Alas! your crown of wind-flowers
Can never make you fly:
I twist them in a crown today,
And tonight they die.
Can never make you fly:
I twist them in a crown today,
And tonight they die.
