The setting sun now sparkles like in a rainbow's beam From the silver waterfall as all colours cascade and dream The birds are made of magic as through the spray They fly of most enchanted beauty fairies to the eye White swans in the cooling waters sail just like angels As they softy spread their pure, white wings And as the warm sun sinks so gently from the blue of another summer's day The birds fill the silver river banks to drink the cooling water Before giving thanks then gently on their way For as night comes they are not afraid As always in the great joy of life the silver water cascades.
