The sea is awash with roses O they blow
Upon the land
The still hills fill with their scent
O the hills flow on their sweetness
As on God’s hand
O love, it is so little we know of pleasure
Pleasure that lasts as the snow
But the sea is awash with roses O they blow
Upon the land
Yes – and think we too often yearn for the pleasures that we had and give little credit to what we still have.
Agree. People always think there’s something better somewhere else instead of appreciating what is at hand.
