omnia - fairy tale lyrics

Loading...

child of the pure unclouded brow
and dreaming eyes of wonder!
though time be fleet, and i and thou
are half a life asunder,

thy loving smile will surely hail
the love-gift of a fairy-tale. (x2)

i have not seen thy sunny face,
nor heard thy silver laughter:
no thought of me shall find a place
in thy young life’s hereafter

enough that now thou wilt not fail
to listen to my fairy-tale. (x2)

a tale begun in other days,
when summer suns were glowing-
a simple chime, that served to time
the rhythm of our rowing-

whose echoes live in memory yet,
though envious years would say ‘forget.’ (x2)

come, hearken then, ere voice of dread,
with bitter tidings laden,
shall summon to unwelcome bed
a melancholy maiden!

we are but older children, dear,
who fret to find our bedtime near. (x2)

without, the frost, the blinding snow,
the storm-wind’s moody madness-
within, the firelight’s ruddy glow,
and childhood’s nest of gladness.

the magic words shall hold thee fast:
thou shalt not heed the raving blast. (x2)

and, though the shadow of a sigh
may tremble through the story,
for ‘happy summer days’ gone by,
and vanish’d summer glory-

it shall not touch, with breath of bale,
the pleasance, of our fairy-tale. (x2)

though time be fleet, and i and thou
are half a life asunder,

thy loving smile will surely hail
the love-gift of a fairy-tale
