about

For my mother on her birthday.

lyrics

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly ‘tis speaking
The wind through it playing has language for me
When o’er its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me.
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Fond memories waken as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o’er me
The ash grove, the ash grove that sheltered my home.

My laughter is over, my step loses lightness
Old countryside measures steal soft on my ear
I only remember the past and its brightness
The dear ones I mourn for again gather here.
From out of its branches their loving looks greet me
As wistfully searching the leafy green dome
I find other faces fond bending to meet me
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.
