Flowers Of Peace lyrics

FLOWERS OF PEACE
by Pete Seeger

Oh the summertime is coming, and the leaves are sweet returning
But those flowers of peace, it`s for them I`m really yearning

Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Will they bloom in the springtime?
Oh you flowers of peace
When the world should be ringtime(?)
Will ye bloom, ever bloom?

I built my love a bower by a clear, crystal river
But the thing her heart desires is a thing I cannot give her

Oh providence smiled impassive, while I fell on bended knee
Said, the lives of you empires are no more than swarms of bees

If you and I would see those flowers, get up and rouse your
neighbors
When first the seed I`d planted, it takes long and careful labor

If you and I would see those flowers, go out and till the fertile
soil
It will take more than prayers, it takes hard and sweaty toil
