oh prunus spinosa
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white
to see this thorn maturing
in the autumn hue
makes my heart want to sing
so full of fruit, deep blue
but there is this bitter taste
is there something you can do
it would seem such a waste
what if you merge into a brew
oh prunus spinosa
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white
freezing you to release your juice
sweetened and you're almost there
soon to become a new produce
regularly revolved with loving care
leave you now to father time
no tonic needed to begin
this time you'll taste sublime
just sip what was once in a spin
oh prunus spinosa
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white
