Seasons

Aside

Now falls the blossom on the snow
As through the cherry March winds blow
And through my heart the seasons flow.

Sweet paradise

Sweet paradise of childhood,
Oh, truly happy land,
Where friends in sea and sunshine
Across the golden sand
Of childhood’s endless summers
Go running hand in hand.

Hüttenabend

Posted on by

Up through the woods the torches go.
Towards the cabin deep in snow
We slowly climb.

There, far from worry, time and space,
Of homeland, love and human grace
We sing our songs.

The sleeping forest all around
Is slowly ‘wakened by the sound,
As breaks the spell.

Away from fire and candles bright,
Far through the frozen starlit night
Our music flies.

Oh, nights of singing, wine and stars
When‚ ‘round the fire, from many shores,
We brothers are!

The night grows late, we homewards go
Back to the other world we know,
Bis nächster mal!
