The Fleeting Lyrics by Lennox Berkeley

Songs of the Half-Light, Op. 65

0

The late wind failed; high on the hill
The pine's resounding boughs were still:
Those wondrous airs that space had lent
To wail earth's night-long banishment
From heat and light and song of day
In a last sighing died away
Alone in the muteness, lost and small
I watched from far-off Leo fall
An ebbing trail of silvery dust
And fade to naught; while, near and far
Glittered in quiet star to star;
And dreamed, in midnight's dim immense
Heaven's universal innocence
O transient heart that yet can raise
To the unseen its pang of praise
And from the founts in play above
Be freshed with that sweet love!
