      D (xx0232@1)                         BmAnd (x24432@1)a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness

        D (xx0232@1)                        BmAnd (x24432@1)the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings

D (xx0232@1)                                       BmDipping (x24432@1)and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye

         G (320003@1)    A (x02220@1)  Bmoh, (x24432@1)on a Spring-tide high.
