GUEST,Bill Entwistle Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Heine, Mendelssohn) (66* d) RE: Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Eng) 15 Jul 09


I am amazed at the number of different versions there are in English. The one I learnt at school nearly sixty years ago went something like this:

On wings of song far sailing,
To distant lands we'll go,
there a dreamland unveiling,
We'll wend where the Ganges flow,
The Lotus flower awakens,
To sooth her sister so.

There is a bit missed out and I cannot remember the other verses but I am desperate to find them. Any offers
