Story behind the song
My first composition with an updated Finale program, written in November - December of 2010, with some recent changes.
Lyrics
"To Spring" O Spring! Spring! save me! No one has loved you more tenderly than I! Your first pasture is more priceless than an Emerald at World's End. Your Anemones I call champions of the whole year, although I know, that the roses will come. Often their sinuous flames stretched out before me, and it was as though I was being loved by a Princess. I fled: but, Anemone, Daughter of Spring, had my faith. O witness then, Anemone, before whom I have fervently knelt! Witness, scorned dandelion and bright Coltsfoot, I have valued you above Gold, because you are the Children of Spring! Witness, swallows, that I did feast for you as for a lost child come home, because you were Messengers of Spring. I search and pray that no longer May clouds will shake needles down my chest from their cold blue openings. I witness, old Woods, who from Spring buds have grown, buds that I have counted more eagerly than Pearls! You witness, that I so often embraced with a son of sons reverence for his grandfathers. Ah yes, how often have I not wanted to mix my crown with yours and be immortal! Yes, Old One, a witness for me! You will be believed, and become as venerable as a Patriarch. Pray for me, I pour at your feet wine and doctor your brow with kisses. Everything of yours must be crowned fairest light green, Your leaves bursting forth everywhere. O Spring! the Old Man is hoarse, calling for me. He reaches heaven with his arms, and Anemone, your blue eyed Children, kneel and pray that you will save me - me, who love thee so tenderly. (Composer's translation)
