Oh, 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 in ringtime
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
I built my love a bower, by a crystal flowing river
But the thing her heart desires is a thing I cannot give her
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Will they bloom in the springtime?
Oh, you flowers of peace
When the world should be in ringtime
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Oh, providence smiled impassive
As I fell on bended knee
Said, "The lives of your empires are no more than swarms of bees"
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
If you and I would see those flowers
Go out and tell the soil
It takes more than prayers, it takes hard and sweaty toil
Then they'd bloom, ever bloom
Then they'll bloom in the springtime
Oh, those flowers of peace
And the world will be in ringtime
Then they'll bloom, ever bloom
