OH ! THE MAYFLY THAT SWUM THE WATERS
HAS NOW OPENED ITS WINGS TO THE SKY
IT LIFTS ITS HEAD UP AND IN A SHORT WHILE
WILL SAIL THE WIND OH I BY AND BY

IT'S OPENED ITS WINGS AND CAUGHT THE SUNLIGHT
IT'S OPENED ITS WINGS ANC CAUGHT THE BREEZE

SUCH A SPLENDOUR AND SUCH COLOURS SHINE
LIKE RAINDROPS THROUGH ITS WINGS
IT'S LEFT THE FLOWERS IT'S LEFT THE LAKESIDE
AND SOARS ABOVE THE WATER TOP
IT SPENDS THE DAY IN PERFECT SPIENDOUR
AND CIRCLES ROUND THE SUMMER LAKE
SOON IT'S DYING THE DAY IS OVER
VERY SOON WITHOUT A SOUND
IT WILL FALL DOWN LOVE TO THE GROUND LOVE
AND DIE AMONGST THE SUMMER GRASS
OH HOW CAN IT BE THAT SUCH A FRAIL THING
THAT NEVER DOES A MOMENTS HARM

SHOULD FALL DOWN LOVE TO THE GROUND LOVE

NEVER MORE TO SING IT'S SONG
IT'S FALLING DOWN LOVE TO THE EARTH LOVE
I HEAR ITS SONG ACROSS THE WIND
OH THE MAYFLY THAT SAILED THE WIND LOVE
HAS CLOSED ITS WINGS TO THE SKY
