arabia - sir john gielgud lyrics

Loading...

far are the shades of arabia
where the princes ride at noon
‘mid the verdurous vales and thickets
under the ghost of the moon;
and so dark is that vaulted purple
flowers in the forest rise
and toss into blossom ‘gainst the phantom stars
pale in the noonday skies

sweet is the music of arabia
in my heart, when out of dreams
i still in the thin clear mirk of dawn
descry her gliding streams;
hear her strange lutes on the green banks
ring loud with the grief and delight
of the dim*silked, dark*haired musicians
in the brooding silence of night

they haunt me — her lutes and her forests;
no beauty on earth i see
but shadowed with that dream recalls
her loveliness to me:
still eyes look coldly upon me
cold voices whisper and say —
‘he is crazed with the spell of far arabia
they have stolen his wits away.’

- sir john gielgud lyrics
