Fisherman’s Stornelli
Flower o’ the sky !1
There’s a ring of red roses that
meets round the world,2
meets round the world,2
And our parting is nigh.3
Flower o’ the dew !4
In the cool, misty morning my feet leave the land,5
But my heart stays with you.6
Flower o’ the wind !7
There’s a scent and a song in the following breeze,8
And a love left behind.9
Flower o’ the foam !10
Between us there rolls the lone waste of the sea,11
But my heart is at home.12
Flower o’ the sky !13
There’s a ring of red roses wreathed all round the world,14
And our meeting is nigh.15
Flowers o’ the night !16
A lily-white moon in a garden of stars,17
And a window alight18
Flower o’ the land !19
Oh, welcome the scent of the earth
and the sound20
and the sound20
Of your voice on the strand !21
Flower o’ my heart !22
Blossom here, little love !
Is it well ? “ It is
well.23
Is it well ? “ It is
well.23
It was bitter apart.”24
