The song in the twilight
A. Bax
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.
