When
When the rivers flow uphill,
When the deserts freeze,
When the sun at midnight burns
When emptied are the seas.
When the moon shines pale green,
When the stars glow red,
When the fires burn upside down
When beasts walk on their head.
When proud kings wear beggar’s robes,
When babes teach class in schools,
When wise men gibber in the dark
When lovers are not fools!
Then will my love a constant be,
A fixed point in eternity;
To thee I’ve given all my heart,
I beg, my love, we never part.
