it’s a lovely music and song ; but As it is a poetry , it’s quite difficult for me to understand it even if I know all the words
I would like you to give us an explication , or some keys about the main meaning of the song in the goal to help us : why,how, was this song born?
Thank you for your help.

Beautiful song. I have heard it before. But didn’t know the lyric. It’s quite difficult to knowing worlds like drowning, rags, pours down, leaning. And I couldn’t check my mistakes and seeing solution but I found them in the Google. Thanks!
