Beautiful child of song

S. Foster

Come, I came longing to hear thee,

Beautiful child of song,

Come though the heart that are near thee,

Around thee devotedly throng,

Come, I am longing to hear thee,

Beautiful child of song,

I'm longing to hear thee carol they lay, sweet child of song.

Come, for the spell of a fairy

Dwells in thy magical voice,

And at they step light and airy,

E'en cold hearts enraptured rejoice.

Come, I am longing to hear thee,

Beautiful child of song,

I'm longing to hear thee carol they lay, sweet child of song.
