Song

1 All suddenly the wind comes soft,

   And Spring is here again;

   And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green

   And by heart with buds of pain

5 My heart all Winter lay so numb

   The Earth is dead and frore,*

   That I never thought the Spring would come

   Or my heart wake any more.

9 But Winter’s broken and earth has woken,

   And the small birds cry again;

   And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds,

   And by heart puts forth it pain.

*frore- frozen
