It
wishes to happen,
it
hovers aloft,
how
lusty and soft,
now
soaring, now flitting
It
wishes, it winks,
how
wisely it tingles
o’er
wrinkles and hair,
it
hums everywhere
it
widens with weather
It
narrows with wit
it
tingles with wishing,
O
wild, wondrous it
How
nicely it whistles
How
sweetly it nestles,
O
happily happen,
O
happen to me
