Текст с Bandcamp’а: “WHITE FLOWER (Ian M. Bruce) 1914 Saw The Great War begin Times of great turmoil for all kith and kin. But through the grim poppies of the red and the blue. One single white flower grew. And all through the valleys the town clocks resound Male voices seep from the ground. And sing with the sirens from dusk till till the dawn One single white flower is born. 1939 The world at war once again. Sent from their homes conscripted men Like seeds on the wind to pastures anew From Leith to Tredegar they blew. And all through the valleys the town clocks resound Male voices seep from the ground And sing with the sirens roar upon roar. The white flower’s single no more. In three different gardens roots were put down. Branches from each in turn settled down. Time marches on, and it’s so sad to say, The white flower’s fading away. And all through the valleys the town clocks ding dong We weep with the male voices’ song As sure as she’s graced us we’ve been left alone Lily of the valley’s gone home Mai hen wlad fy nhadau by crowd or by choir Sets every Welsh soul afire But we knew it gentle. We knew it shy. Lily of the valley – Goodbye Mai hen wlad dy dadai’n, gofledio di enwaith mwy. from Ain’t That Pretty?, released February 22, 2016“
