Subject: RE: Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Heine, Mendelssohn)
From what I remember of the Geehl arrangement: -

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 (X2)

[Cant remember second verse]

At nighttime the woods are sleeping; bright shines the moon above
(Something something) laughter, of children’s play that they love
Of children’s play that they love
Of play they love
