christine ebersole - renascence lyrics

all i could see from where i stood
was three long mountains and a wood;
i turned and looked another way
and saw three islands in a bay
so with my eyes i traced the line
of the horizon, thin and fine
straight around till i was come
back to where i’d started from;
and all i saw from where i stood
was three long mountains and a wood

over these things i could not see;
these were the things that bounded me;
and i could touch them with my hand
almost, i thought, from where i stand
and all at once things seemed so small
my breath came short, and scarce at all

but, sure, the sky is big, i said;
miles and miles above my head;
so here upon my back i’ll lie
and look my fill into the sky
and so i looked, and, after all
the sky was not so very tall
the sky, i said, must somewhere stop
and—sure enough!—i see the top!
the sky, i thought, is not so grand;
i ‘most could touch it with my hand!
and reaching up my hand to try
i screamed to feel it touch the sky
i screamed, and—lo!—infinity
came down and settled over me;
