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.
