Leidchen
We started early, took some pictures
(A red bow in your hair);
And there were waterfalls on mountains
We started early, took some pictures
(A red bow in your hair);
And there were waterfalls on mountains
The day was bright and warm. We went to swim
Up at the Dolder’s big expensive pool.
That afternoon we saw a strange old woman
As one who has been homesick for his town
And then returns, expecting some gay tune,
Your hear a beggar sing a mournful rhyme
Tall hunters come; the fresh wind had the feel
Of an old anger blowing from beyond
The elms that edge the wood. Down on the pond,
I was apprenticed young,
A shut-in with no sense
Of sunlight or clear sky
