richard mitchley - william sharpe - on a nightingale in april lyrics

Loading...

the yellow moon is a dancing phantom
down secret ways of the flowing shade;
and the waveless stream has a murmuring whisper
where the alders wave

not a breath, not a sigh, save the slow stream’s whisper:
only the moon is a dancing blade
that leads a host of the crescent warriors
to a phantom raid

out of the lands of faerie a summons
a long, strange cry that thrills through the glade: +
the gray+green glooms of the elm are stirring
newly afraid

last heard, white music, under the olives
where once theocritus sang and played +
thy thracian song is the old new wonder
o moon+white maid!
