Verse:
C Em
I would that we were, my beloved
F
White birds on the foam of the sea
G Am
Far from the rose and the lily
F G C
And fret of the flames would we be
Chorus:
C Em
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
F
Hung low on the rim of the sky
G Am
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved
F G C
A sadness that may never die
F G C
A sadness that may never die
C Em
A weariness comes from those dreamers
F
Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose
G Am
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved
F G C
The flame of the meteor that goes
C Em
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers
F
Hung low in the fall of the dew
G Am
For I would we were changed, my beloved
F G C
To white birds on the foam, I and you
F G C
To white birds on the foam, I and you
Bridge:
Em
Bend low, that I may crown you
Em
Flower of the branch
Am
Silver fish my hands have taken
Am
From the running stream
F
Morning star, trembling in the heavens
G
Like a white fawn on the border of a wood
G
Bend that I may crown you
G
That I may crown you
Chorus:
C Em
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
F
Hung low on the rim of the sky
G Am
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved
F G C
A sadness that may never die
F G C
A sadness that may never die
C Em
Soon far from the rose and the lily
F
And fret of the flames would we be
G Am
Were we only white birds, my beloved
F G C
White birds on the foam of the sea
F G C
