| 作曲 : Leo | |
| As I did walk through cities one Saturday | |
| A golden finch came winging my way | |
| And sang to me a song of my country | |
| And words of life from city and sea | |
| Golden finch, your song is your love | |
| And you will sing forever above | |
| Golden finch, alight in your loft | |
| Where I have learned and oh, you have taught | |
| While she did wing through aerial places | |
| A red oak tree grew under her feet | |
| And when the world had started its taking | |
| She lit amongst its loftier leaves | |
| Golden finch, alight in your loft | |
| You have learned and oh, you have taught | |
| Red oak tree, will carry your loss | |
| When you alone can't carry that cross |
