Subject: RE: Lyr Req: On Wings of Song (Heine, Mendelssohn)
These are the lyrics, but not all of them, from the version of On Wings of Song, that I remember singing....

On wings of song I'll bear thee away to fairy land.
There/Where lies my sweet-scented garden awaiting your dainty hand.
The moonbeams are filling my garden with silvery lanterns of light.
And lotus flowers are waiting to welcome thee tonight.
And lotus flowers are waiting to welcome thee tonight.

The rose and violet blossom, for thee in this garden so rear
Stars are above in the heaven, aglow in the scent-laden air.
Away in the distant shadows the woodland creatures play
And softly glides the river rejoicing on its way
And softly glides the river rejoicing on its way.
