lirik lagu arnold bax - glamour
as i walked at dusk in eyré square
of a sudden i became aware
of one who walked beside me there
i could not hear his footfall’s beat
he spoke no word my soul to greet
but i felt his mastering curious stare;
and when i sought his eyes to meet
in the infrequent places where
the dingy dust~veiled street~lamps flare
he wrapped him in the misty glare
or hid in clouds of phantom sleer
he had corn~coloured, sea~bleached hair
he had pampooties on his feet
his shaking fingers lithe and spare
moved like long wind~waves in tall wheat
and at the corner of the street
he sang a stave so piercing fair
it stung like arrows the thin air
“a faery wind against the sheet
and opal glimmers on the sea
and far~strayed green~lipped mystery!
what thing in your dull world of care
is wiser~hearted and more sweet
than the wind of faery in the sheet
the voices rocking on the sea?
sure that’s the ship for you and me
come sad~eyed poet if you dare!”
the wind whirled over a breached wall
i turned. he was not there at all
but a drugged dream he’d laid upon
the grass, the statue, and the gun
the silly solemn houses ranged
about the square
all things were changed
with some atlantic magic dim
and in enchantment seemed to swim
i thought a green bewitchment splashed
along the street, and pale gleams flashed
out of the clouded luring west
a danaan dream into my breast
and through all weathers and all climes
i’ve chased that spinner of quaint rhymes;
i’ve followed through sharp whirling sands
the waving of his fading hands;
and seen his antic shadow pass
the railings of st. nicholas;
and heard his thin and silver laugh
along the claddagh, on the wharf
round foam~bespattered ledges drear
of inishmaan and inisheer
and in and out the standing stones
that guard the firbolg’s powdered bones;
but never find that hooker fleet
with glamoured wind against the sheet
nor that strange aran islander
who walked with me in eyré square
through all days in the rainy year
or when the shy stars blink and peer
i seek his shadow up and down
the mouldering streets of galway town
