What is song's eternityA
Come and seeA
Can it noise and bustle beA
Come and seeA
Praises sung or praises saidB
Can it beA
Wait awhile and these are deadB
Sigh sighC
Be they high or lowly bredB
They dieC
-
What is song's eternityA
Come and seeA
Melodies of earth and skyC
Here they beA
Song once sung to Adam's earsD
Can it beA
Ballads of six thousand yearsD
Thrive thriveE
Songs awaken with the spheresD
AliveE
-
Mighty songs that miss decayF
What are theyF
Crowds and cities pass awayF
Like a dayF
Books are out and books are readB
What are theyF
Years will lay them with the deadB
Sigh sighC
Trifles unto nothing wedB
They dieC
-
Dreamers mark the honey beeA
Mark the treeA
Where the blue cap quot tootle tee quotC
Sings a gleeA
Sung to Adam and to EveG
Here they beA
When floods covered every boughH
Noah's arkI
Heard that ballad singing nowH
Hark harkI
-
quot Tootle tootle tootle tee quotC
Can it beA
Pride and fame must shadows beA
Come and seeA
Every season owns her ownJ
Bird and beeA
Sing creation's music onK
Nature's gleeA
Is in every mood and toneJ
EternityA
