One (Jw)

One day by Dunstan River I'll sit again You and I to dream Far away from the old fields of pain Bathing naked in her stream One night in the guinea grass we will lay And whisper to the moon And kiss while doves sing far away A happy lovers tune One week, one month, one year to come By the Black River flowing We will dance like children to the village drum For the joy that we are knowing One life to live is all we have, and it passes fast Away. O love, my love do not delay My will to live by thy slow destiny is cast Like thoughts between the river and the bay One love I claim, one you, one beauty sought One purpose from the king of heaven One dream upon my heart is wrought One prize for which the soul has striven One day by Dunstan River we will sit again You and I, after the abeng blows The wind will sing us its sweet refrain While cool the Dunstan River flows
