Subject: RE: Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Heine, Mendelssohn)
This is as much as I can remember

V1: My mind in fancy wanders
In woods and fields of Spring
I see the birds and the blossoms
That showers in April bring
The starlings, they scold and they chatter
The bluebells bow to the breeze
The wind is softly singing a message to the trees
The wind is softly singing a message to the trees

V2 - can't remember!

V3: At night time the woods are sleeping
Bright shines the moon above

I believe the musical director of Dowlais Male Choir in South Wales will have the full lyrics to this version - perhaps contact her?
