Nothing Earthly
Brave Combo · Other Songs - Brave Combo
(thrown back from flowers) of beauty's eye
O! nothing earthly save the thrill
Of melody in woodland rill...
Oh, nothing of the dross of ours -
Yet all the beauty - all the flowers
That list our love
Adorn yon world afar, afar -
The wandering star.
