Lindsay, Vachel, 1879-1931
"The Chinese Nightingale and Other Poems"
Congregation: We were the sweethearts.
Both Leaders: You shall dance round again,
You shall dance round again,
Cymbals shall sound again,
Cymbals shall sound again,
Wildflowers be found
For ten thousand years,
Wildflowers be found
For ten thousand years.
He goes forward to the footlights.>
Both Leaders: And every sweetheart had four hundred swans.
Congregation: We were the swans.
Both Leaders: You shall spread wings again,
You shall spread wings again,
Fly in soft rings again,
Fly in soft rings again,
Swim by cool springs
For ten thousand years,
Swim by cool springs,
For ten thousand years.
