Lyrics In the Garden - Petter Udland Johansen

We waited for the sun
To break its cloudy prison
(For day was not yet done
And night still unbegun)
Leaning by the dial

After many a trial—
We all silent there—
It burst as new-arisen
Throwing a shade to where
Time travelled at that minute

Little saw we in it
But this much I know
Of lookers on that shade
Her towards whom it made
Soonest had to go
Soonest had to go
