the dream city - gustav holst lyrics

Loading...

on a dream*hill we’ll build our city
and we’ll build gates that have two keys *
love to let in the vanquished, and pity
to close the locks that shelter these

there will be quiet open sp*ces
and shady towers sweet with bells
and quiet folks with quiet faces
walking among these miracles

there’ll be a london square in maytime
with london lilacs, whose brave light
startles with coloured lamps the daytime
with sudden scented wings the night

a silent square could but a lonely thrush
on the lilacs bear to cease
his song, and no sound else *
save only the traffic of the heart at peace

and we will have a river painted
with the dawn’s wistful strategems
of dusted gold, and night acquainted
with the long purples of the thames

and we will have * oh yes! the gardens
kensington, richmond hill and kew
and hampton, where winter scolds, and pardons
the first white crocus breaking through
and where the great their greatness squander
and while the wise their wisdom lose
squirrels will leap, and deer will wander
gracefully, down the avenues
