I am forever searching high and low,

But why does everybody tell me no -

Neptune of the seas

Have you an answer for me please --

And the lily of the valley doesn't know ......

 

Some say love it is a river

That drowns the tender reed.

Some say love it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed;

 

Some say love it is a hunger,

An endless, aching need

I say love it is a rose,

,And you it's only seed.

 

I lie in wait with open eyes --

I carry on through stormy skies,

I follow every course

My kingdom for a horse ...

But each time I grow old

Serpent of the Nile,

Relieve me for a while

And cast me from your spell and let me go

 

 

Messenger from Seven Seas has flown;

To tell the King of Rhineland he's lost his throne,

Wars will never cease

Is there time enough for peace ?

But the lily of the valley doesn't know .........

 

When the night has been too lonely,

And the road has been too long;

.And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong.

 

Just remember in the winter,

Far beneath the bitter snow--

Lies the seed that with the sun's love,

In the spring, becomes the rose........
