The Elf |
| I sat upon the evening hill |
| The shadows set, the night grew still |
| And as I sat, guitar on knee |
| A voice of flowers called to me |
| Sing, sing to me your song |
| Sing, for I belong to the night |
| In the gray morning light, I’ll be gone |
| I turned with eyes that strained for sight |
| And there amid the failing light |
| Dimly saw a figure small |
| Heard a voice of magic call |
| Sing, sing to me your song |
| Sing, for I belong to the night |
| In the gray morning light, I’ll be gone |
| My fumbling fingers found the chords |
| My trembling lips fought for the words |
| I stopped to ask the stranger how |
| He softly said, «No questions now» |
| Sing, sing to me your song |
| Sing, for I belong to the night |
| In the gray morning light, I’ll be gone |
| Then with the magic of the elves |
| My fingers danced among themselves |
| A heart with lightness thus endowed |
| Formed melodies I know not how |
| Song played the whole night long |
| Thus he danced and laughed through the night |
| And with gray morning light, he was gone |
| Now, the whispering wind plays over the hill |
| And the evening sounds again grow still |
| A year or more has passed since then |
| Oh, he will not pass my way again |
| So, I sing, sing to you my song |
| Sing for I belong to the night |
| In the gray morning light, I’ll be gone |
