Soft breeze of morning, please slow down and wait Till l can kiss your soft cheeks and your smile. You are that old, kind friend so far from sight. He can't approach, so his breath comes awhile.
What shall l do to make you stay for long ? You've charmed my heart and brought my mind that time. Please linger till l recall that old song That l forget but used to dream its rhyme.
You've come, please stay; you have provoked that dream That's lurked for long and fed the wish for life. You've brought those days which now l quite esteem As none but them can form life joyful stuff.
I give my thoughts light wings to fly with you To where you can join them with that dear soul. There, l would live the past with all its view, Which none retrieves but my thoughts can recall.
