English Lyrics: Fair trees, that hang your heads and bow to kiss the brook, so dark and still, which undermines your roots below, and to your downfall bends its will, like you, fool many a one I've known, when life was spring, and hope was fair, whose kisses met mine own, to bring but grief and dark despair, grief and dark despair. Fair trees. Fair trees. Fair trees. Fair trees.
Another gorgeous song, "Beside the Stream" (Op. 33, no. 5), from Grieg's perfect settings of A. O. Vinje's moving poems, it speaks of life's and love's fickleness - sung beautifully and sensitively by the wonderful German-Swiss soprano Stephanie Buehlmann.
