Arnold Bax - The Song in the Twilight
00
Copied!
I have heard a music
Strange and wild and tender
Through the mystic splendour
Of the twilight stealing
Like the spell entracing of a magic potion
Slowly it enwound me
Twirling, twining, dancing
In a mazy motion
Whirling all around me
Thro' the deep'ning twilight
Aery voices calling
And dim shadows falling
Clustered all around me
But I heeded only
That wild music burning
With an infinite yearning
All the heart of me
And I wandered lonely
Lonely, ah so lonely
Down the pathway weeping
While the world lay sleeping
Dreaming at my feet
Strange and wild and tender
Through the mystic splendour
Of the twilight stealing
Like the spell entracing of a magic potion
Slowly it enwound me
Twirling, twining, dancing
In a mazy motion
Whirling all around me
Thro' the deep'ning twilight
Aery voices calling
And dim shadows falling
Clustered all around me
But I heeded only
That wild music burning
With an infinite yearning
All the heart of me
And I wandered lonely
Lonely, ah so lonely
Down the pathway weeping
While the world lay sleeping
Dreaming at my feet
