Thread Name: Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Heine, Mendelssohn)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: On Wings Of Song (Eng)
Just come across this website while looking for information on
a recording of On Wings of Song. I've told my family that I want it sung at my funeral - which I hope won't be for a long time yet.
These are the words that we learned at school in the late 1940's.

On wings of song, I'll bear thee,
Enchanted realms to see.
Come oh my love, prepare thee
In dreamland to wander with me.
A garden I know of roses
By moonlight silvered o'er
And on the lake reposes
A balmy lotus flower.
