The wild dove cries on fleeting wing
Language: English
The wild dove cries on fleeting wing, the bough forsaking; we dream'd a dream of love and spring, and dreams have waking. There will remain no bird to sing, no young bloom on the branch will cling, tho' hearts be breaking! O Love, it is a dream of spring; alas, it was a dream of love and spring, and dreams have waking! Sayonara!
