Lyrics
Acony Bell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The fairest bloom the mountain know
Is not an iris or a wild rose
But the little flower of which i'll tell
Known as the brave acony bell
Just a simple flower so small and plain
With a pearly hue and a little known name
But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
For they know that spring is coming soon
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
Where the snow lies deep on the windy hills
And it tells the world "why should i wait
This ice and snow is gonna melt away"
And so i'll sing that yellow bird's song
For the troubled times will soon be gone
