Fisherman’s Stornelli
By Mabel Hart.
Flower o’ the sky !
There’s a ring of red roses that
meets round the world,
And our parting is nigh.
Flower o’ the dew !
In the cool, misty morning my feet leave the land,
But my heart stays with you.
Flower o’ the wind !
There’s a scent and a song in the following breeze,
And a love left behind.
Flower o’ the foam !
Between us there rolls the lone waste of the sea,
But my heart is at home.
Flower o’ the sky !
There’s a ring of red roses wreathed all round the world,
And our meeting is nigh.
Flowers o’ the night !
A lily-white moon in a garden of stars,
And a window alight
Flower o’ the land !
Oh, welcome the scent of the earth
and the sound
Of your voice on the strand !
Flower o’ my heart !
Blossom here, little love !
Is it well ? “ It is
well.
It was bitter apart.”
