Simples - Nina Karlsson

Of cool sweet dew and radiance mild

The moon is a web of a silence weaves

In the still garden where a child

Gathers the simple leaves

Gathers the simple leaves

Gaaaaathers… athers…

Simple leaves

Be mine, I pray;

a waxen ear

To shield me from her childish croon

And mine a shielded heart for her

Who gathers simples of the moon

Who gathers simples of the moon

Of the moon

Of the moon

A moon dew star her hanging hair

And moonlight kisses here her young brow

And gathering she sing, sing an air

Fair as the wave is, fair, art thou!

Be mine, I pray;

a waxen ear

To shield me from her childish croon

And mine a shielded heart for her

Who gathers simples of the moon

Who gathers simples of the moon

Of the moon

Of the moon

A moon dew star

her hanging hair

And moonlight kisses moonlight kisses

Here her young brow…
