Earth and Air

Strings in the earth and air make music sweet
Strings by the river where the willows meet
There's music along the river, for Love wanders there
Pale flowers on his mantle, dark leaves in his hair

Hear you amid the drowsy even
One who is singing by your gate
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you

A music of sighs: arise, arise
Unclose the pale gates of sunrise
Awake to hear the sweet harps play
To Love before him on his way
Who may this singer be
Whose song about my heart is falling?

At that hour when all things have repose
At that hour when soft lights come and go
Soft sweet music in the air above
And in the earth below
Know you by this, the lover's chant
'Tis I that am your visitant
