edward elgar - a child asleep lyrics

Loading...

how he sleepeth!

vision unto vision calleth
while the young child dreameth on
fair, o dreamer, thee befalleth
with the glory thou hast won!
darker wert thou in the garden, yestermorn, by summer sun

we should see the spirits rising
round thee, ++ were the clouds away
’tis the child+heart draws them, singing
in the silent+seeming clay ++
singing! ++ stars that seem the mutest, go in music all the way

softly, softly! make no noises!
now he lieth still and dumb ++
now he hears the angels’ voices
folding silencе in the room ++
now he muses deep thе meaning of the heaven+words as they come

he is harmless ++ we are sinful, ++
we are troubled ++ he, at ease:
from his slumber, virtue winful
floweth outward with increase ++
dare not bless him! but be blessed by his peace ++ and go in peace
