A Farewell Flight

Once I've seen the sun fade,
And the summertime die,
Please tell me, where is it
You are going to fly?

I'm destined for the South,
A mysterious town,
So please take me with you
On your journey down,

My wings are long-fallen,
But please fly me there,
So at last I can feel
Heaven's breath through my hair,

For I know once I land,
You will flutter away,
And my freedom no longer
My Fate can delay.
