To the farthest star of allA
Go make a moment's raidB
To the west escape the earthC
Before your pennons fadeB
West west o'ertake the nightD
That flees the morning sunE
There's a path between the starsF
A black and silent oneE
O tremble when you nearG
The smallest star that singsH
Only the farthest starI
Is cool for willow wingsH
-
There's a sky within the westJ
There's a sky beyond the skiesK
Where only one star shinesL
The Star of Laughing BellsM
In Chaos land it liesK
Cold as morning dewN
A gray and tiny boatO
Moored on Chaos shoreP
Where nothing else can floatO
But the Wings of the Morning strongQ
And the lilt of laughing songQ
From many a ruddy throatO
-
For the Tree of Laughing BellsM
Grew from a bleeding seedR
Planted mid enchantmentS
Played on a harp and reedR
Darkness was the harpT
Chaos wind the reedR
The fruit of the tree is a bell blood redU
The seed was the heart of a fairy deadU
Part of the bells of the Laughing TreeV
Fell to day at a blast from the reedR
Bring a fallen bell to meV
Go the maiden saidU
For the bell will quench our memoryV
Our hopeW
Our borrowed sorrowX
We will have no thirst for yesterdayY
No thought for to morrowX
