Lyrics by William Morris
lyrics
SINGER OF AN EMPTY DAY
(excerpt from “The Earthly Paradise” by William Morris, 1868-1870)
Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time.
Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
Telling a tale not too importunate
To those who in the sleepy region stay,
Lulled by the singer of an empty day.
Folk say, a wizard to a northern king
At Christmas-tide such wondrous things did show,
That through one window men beheld the spring,
And through another saw the summer glow,
and through a third the fruited vines a-row,
while still, unheard, but in its wonted way,
Piped the drear wind of that December day.
So with this Earthly Paradise it is,
If ye will read aright, and pardon me,
Who strive to build a shadowy isle of bliss
Midmost the beating of the steely sea,
Where tossed about all hearts of men must be;
Whose ravening monsters mighty men shall slay,
Not the poor singer of an empty day.

That track has everything and anything in it. A pheasant's father, a watering can, unfinished alphabets from ancient civilisations, the two of spades, the morning dew, and Hell on earth. Antoine Mouquod
