You feel the fortune of your years, I hope. For all your children's love This day must bring you happy tears And thoughts that joyful music prove. I hope, for all your children's love, There is an island, be it small, And thoughts that joyful music prove Beyond what years you may recall.
There is an island, be it small, Amid the passions of the sea, Beyond what years you may recall, Where you in silent grace can be.
Amid the passions of the sea, This day must bring you happy tears. Where you in silent grace can be, You feel the fortune of your years.
