Eldrid Lunden

The birch does not develop

The birch does not develop
The greenfinch does not develop
The cherry does not develop

But in April we can see the veil of light
in the cherry tree






It is approaching
The second in eternity
That covers an entire life

The birch does not develop

Bjørka utviklar seg ikkje
Grønfinken utviklar seg ikkje
Kirsebærtreet utviklar seg ikkje

Men i april ser vi sløret av lys
i kirsebærtreet






Det nærmar seg
Sekundet i æva
Som omfattar eit heilt liv
Close

The birch does not develop

The birch does not develop
The greenfinch does not develop
The cherry does not develop

But in April we can see the veil of light
in the cherry tree






It is approaching
The second in eternity
That covers an entire life

The birch does not develop

The birch does not develop
The greenfinch does not develop
The cherry does not develop

But in April we can see the veil of light
in the cherry tree






It is approaching
The second in eternity
That covers an entire life
