A Song of Flight Lyrics by Edward Elgar

Two Songs, Op. 31

1900

While we slumber and sleep
The sun leaps up from the deep
Daylight born at the leap!
Rapid, dominant, free
A thirst to bathe in the uttermost sea
While we linger at play
If the year would stand at May!
Winds are up and away
Over land, over sea
To their goal wherever their goal may be
It is time to arise
To race for the promised prize
The sun flies, the wind flies
We are strong, we are free
And home lies beyond the stars and sea
