JAPANESE LOVE SONG, A
(Music: May H. Brahe / Lyrics: Madge Dickson - 1910)







The wind is gently sighing
Through the maple trees
The tall bamboos are swaying
Softly in the breeze

And as I sadly listen
Listen dreamily
I think I hear you singing
Singing, love to me

I know it is but fancy
That I feel you near
But, oh, I'm filled with longing
Your dear voice to hear

And oft the evening breezes
Almond scented bring
The rippling of your koto
And I hear you sing
And I hear you sing, ah, ah
