Please be quick, please do come to me
If I’m far away, and if fate is mean,
If all seems like a horrid dream,
If a shade of ill through the window streams…
Please be quick if a foe offends,
Please be quick if I need a friend,
Please be quick if sadly mourns the wind,
Please be quick…
Don’t be quick, don’t go quick away
When we’re one, but the world is gray,
“Yes” will say, rain and leaves that sway,
Stars and shining lights and rushing trains,
Don’t be quick, when we’re heart to heart,
Don’t be quick, when quickness leads to harm,
Don’t be quick when sleep the Earth and winds,
Don’t be quick…
Don’t be quick when sleep the Earth and winds,
Don’t be quick…
Don’t be quick…
