And All Shall Fade The Flowers of Spring. The World and all the Sorrow At the heart of everything But still it stays the butterfly sings And opens purple summer With a flutter of its wings The earth will wave with corn The grey-fly choir will mournai And mare will neigh with Stallions that they mate Foals they've born And all shall know the wonder of purple summer..... And yet I wait The swallow brings A song too hard to follow That no one else can sing The fences sway The porches swing The clouds begin to thunder Crickets wander murmuring The earth will wave with corn The grey-fly choir will mourn And mares will neigh With stallions that they mate Foals they've born And all shall know the wonder I will sing the song of purple summer And all shall know the wonder I will sing the song of purple summer All shall know the wonder of purple summer.....
