Let it be forgotten as a flower is forgotten, Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold. Let it be forgotten forever and ever. Time is a kind friend, he will make us old. If anyone [asks]1, say it was forgotten, Long and long ago. As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed foot-fall In a long forgotten snow.

?. I am the still rain  [sung text not yet checked]
Language: English
I am the still rain falling, Too tired for singing mirth -- Oh, be the green fields calling, Oh, be for me the earth! I am the brown bird pining To leave the nest and fly -- Oh, be the fresh cloud shining, Oh, be for me the sky!
