Flower among flowers, br soft bud swooning, br that the wind moves br to a gentle crooning. br Wind of heaven, br wind of love, br you who gladden br all you espy; br you who smile br and will not sigh, br candour and fragrance br from above; br you who perhaps br came down to earth br to bring the lonely br solace and mirth, br and to be a joy br for the heart to capture. br They say that into br your dawn you bear br the immaculate soul br a prisoner br -- bound with the ties of br passion and rapture? br br They say you spread br good everywhere br like the Spring br which fills the air br with joy and flowers br in Apriltime. br They say you brighten br the soul that mourns br when dark clouds gather, br and that without thorns br blossom the roses br in your clime. br If then, like a fairy, br you enhance br the joy of those br on whom you glance br with the magic charm br God gave to you; br oh, spare me an hour br of your cheer, br a single day br of your career, br that the breast may savor br the bliss it knew.
