lirik lagu lewis casson - merlin & the gleam

Loading...

o young mariner
you from the haven
under the sea~cliff
you that are watching
the gray magician
with eyes of wonder
i am merlin
and i am dying
i am merlin
who follow the gleam

mighty the wizard
who found me at sunrise
sleeping, and woke me
and learn’d me magic!
great the master
and sweet the magic
when over the valley
in early summers
over the mountain
on human faces
and all around me
moving to melody
floated the gleam

once at the croak of a raven who crost it
a barbarous people
blind to the magic
and deaf to the melody
snarl’d at and cursed me
a demon vext me
the light retreated
the landskip darken’d
the melody deaden’d
the master whisper’d
‘follow the gleam.’
then to the melody
over a wilderness
gliding, and glancing at
elf of the woodland
gnome of the cavern
griffin and giant
and dancing of fairies
in desolate hollows
and wraiths of the mountain
and rolling of dragons
by warble of water
or cataract music
of falling torrents
flitted the gleam

down from the mountain
and over the level
and streaming and shining on
silent river
silvery willow
pasture and plowland
horses and oxen
innocent maidens
garrulous children
homestead and harvest
reaper and gleaner
and rough~ruddy faces
of lowly labour
slided the gleam.—
then, with a melody
stronger and statelier
led me at length
to the city and palace
of arthur the king;
touch’d at the golden
cross of the churches
flash’d on the tournament
fl!cker’d and bicker’d
from helmet to helmet
and last on the forehead
of arthur the blameless
rested the gleam

clouds and darkness
closed upon camelot;
arthur had vanish’d
i knew not whither
the king who loved me
and cannot die;
for out of the darkness
silent and slowly
the gleam, that had waned to a wintry glimmer
on icy fallow
and faded forest
drew to the valley
named of the shadow
and slowly brightening
out of the glimmer
and slowly moving again to a melody
yearningly tender
fell on the shadow
no longer a shadow
but clothed with the gleam
and broader and brighter
the gleam flying onward
wed to the melody
sang thro’ the world;
and slower and fainter
old and weary
but eager to follow
i saw, whenever
in passing it glanced upon
hamlet or city
that under the crosses
the dead man’s garden
the mortal hillock
would break into blossom;
and so to the land’s
last limit i came——
and can no longer
but die rejoicing
for thro’ the magic
of him the mighty
who taught me in childhood
there on the border
of boundless ocean
and all but in heaven
hovers the gleam

not of the sunlight
not of the moonlight
not of the starlight!
o young mariner
down to the haven
call your companions
launch your vessel
and crowd your canvas
and, ere it vanishes
over the margin
after it, follow it
follow the gleam
