Songs from a Masque
Chorus of Woodfolk:
Wild the heart of the magic wood,
Wild the dream that shall never stay,
Flute and laughter and dance are good,
Joy and singing the while we may—
Joy is good—joy is good—
Folk of river and field and wood!
Wild the heart of the magic wood,
Wild the dream that shall never stay,
Flute and laughter and dance are good,
Joy and singing the while we may—
Joy is good—joy is good—
Folk of river and field and wood!
SWANHILD SINGS UNSEEN:
White wings, far wings,
Fade down the sky,
Dream things, fair things
Follow and fly;
Fade down the sky,
Dream things, fair things
Follow and fly;
Young heart, wild heart,
Ah, could you follow
All the clouds, all the dreams,
Down the world's hollow!
Ah, could you follow
All the clouds, all the dreams,
Down the world's hollow!
SWANHILD SINGS TO THE KNIGHT:
What shall I do with my heart
That will not go with thee,
Lover of mine, knight of mine,
Guide to the heights afar?
That will not go with thee,
Lover of mine, knight of mine,
Guide to the heights afar?
