lyrics
Wild bees that rifle the mango blossom,
Set free awhile from the love-god’s string,
Wild birds that sway in the citron branches,
Drunk with the rich, red honey of spring,
Fireflies weaving aërial dances
In fragile rhythms of flickering gold,
What do you know in your blithe, brief season
Of dreams deferred and a heart grown old?
But the wise winds know, as they pause to slacken
The speed of their subtle, omniscient flight,
Divining the magic of unblown lilies,
Foretelling the stars of the unborn night.
They have followed the hurrying feet of pilgrims,
Tracking swift prayers to their utmost goals,
They have spied on Love’s old and changeless secret,
And the changing sorrow of human souls.
They have tarried with Death in her parleying-places,
And issued the word of her high decree,
Their wings have winnowed the garnered sunlight,
Their lips have tasted the purple sea.

This is a really haunting folk album. Bobin's vocals in combination with the beautiful melodies and arrangements create a relaxed mood that is tranquil and straightforward at the same time. Eissturmvogel
