. . . Summer will come again, 1922.
words by Reginald Arkell
music by H.M. Tennent
Founded on the famous novel by A.S.M. Hutchinson. There is a winter season and a winter of life. The refrain probably should not be doubled. I’ll fix that next time.
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Love is a tale that is told
Life is a book we may read
Hearts, as they yearn, are the pages we turn
Wherever the story may lead
Springtime may color the page
Summers their loveliness lend
And Autumns unfold with their brown and their gold
But winter must come in the end
Refrain
If winter comes and all your skies are grey
Though gloomy shadows fall across your way
Don’t sit and dream of the days gone by
When life was young and hope was high
If winter comes with bitter hail and snow
And there is frost on the pane
Then just trudge along with a smile and a song
Summer will come again
- Swallows may fly to the south
Leaving their nest by the well
Winds may grow chill on the crest of the hill
The last rose of summer may fall
Friends who were dear may forget
Leaving your heart with its pain
But love that is true will be waiting for you
When swallows fly northward again
