Lyrics
In the highlands, in the country places Where the old plain men have rosy faces And the young fair maidens Quiet eyes; Where essential silence cheers and blesses And for ever in the hill-recesses Her more lovely music Broods and dies — O to mount again where erst I haunted; Where the old red hills are bird-enchanted And the low green meadows Bright with sward; And when even dies, the million-tinted And the night has come, and planets glinted Lo, the valley hollow Lamp-bestarr'd! O to dream, O to awake and wander There, and with delight to take and render Through the trance of silence Quiet breath! Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses Only the mightier movement sounds and passes; Only winds and rivers Life and death
