Messengers
Language: English
I know why the white clouds go riding on high, They’re bearing a message across the blue sky, Oh, straight to your dwelling they’re speeding away, To find you, my dear one, and greet you today. I know why the bright moon goes sailing above, She’s bearing a message to one that I love, Oh, straight to your widow she’s sailing away, To bless you, my dear one, and guard you till day.
