Like a gentle lullaby, evening greets the stream

Like the starlit heavens the factory light they gleam
In the distance a train speeds by, just like flashes of light
And out there by the Rowan Ill meet two boys tonight
Oh my beautiful Rowan Tree, with your blossoms white
Oh my rowan, mowan tree, why so sad tonight?
