Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea

Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?

"I have," said the willow,

"And I begged him please to stay, but he went away,

He went on his own one day." And I sing

"One love have I," and he sings, "Now it's goodbye,"

And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again."

Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves,

Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?

"I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine,

But he left in time, he went in his own good time."

And I sing "One love have I," and he sings,

"Now it's goodbye," and I sing

"Part of me dies until I see you again."

Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown,

With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?

I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay,

But he went away, with the sun and the wind away.

And I sing "One love have I," and he sings,

"Now it's goodbye," and I sing

"Part of me dies until i see you again"
