Lost in the Great Sea
04:53
|

Away, I see you going away,
A tiny speck on the horizon by now,
Lost in the great sea, lost
Your vessel appearing and disappearing
Beneath the waves of the sea, so far away I see you
Come back home soon, back in my arms soon
Away, I see you going away,
Away from my heart, into the unknown,
Towards distant lands, far away

A Wish

I wish I were a little bird
by Christina Georgina Rossetti
I wish I were a little bird
That out of sight doth soar,
I wish I were a song once heard
But often pondered o'er,
Or shadow of a lily stirred
By wind upon the floor,
Or echo of a loving word
Worth all that went before,
Or memory of a hope deferred
That springs again no more.

Aine's Ballad
05:16
|
|||
Red, yellow, orange,
Brown, golden leaves,
Fall from the trees
Fluttering,
They bring to the mind
Of the young man
The days when he met her in the woods
Through the trees he saw something moving
To his delight a fairy appeared
Sparkling lovely magical damsel
Never had he seen such a thing
'Aine's my name' she introduced herself,
Like a ray of golden summer sunshine,
Emerging from colored autumn leaves
She's the soul of the enchanted forest
Though his days of youth are so distant now
He still tends to the big golden forest
The old man walks chasing evil away
Wandering through a long way to go

She sat and sang alway
By the green margin of a stream,
Watching the fishes leap and play
Beneath the glad sunbeam.
I sat and wept away
Beneath the moon's most shadowy beam,
Watching the blossoms of the May
Weep leaves into the stream.

To Autumn
04:56
|

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
"The narrow bud opens her beauties to
The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins;
Blossoms hang round the brows of morning, and
Flourish down the bright cheek of modest eve,
Till clust'ring Summer breaks forth into singing,
And feather'd clouds strew flowers round her head.
"The spirits of the air live on the smells
Of fruit; and joy, with pinions light, roves round
The gardens, or sits singing in the trees."
Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat;
Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak
Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.

The Traveller
03:40
|
|||
Fluttering brocades, golden and crimson,
Swaying of braids, diadems and dreams,
Dancing joyfully all through the night,
Gems and silk and oriental spices
Round we dance
Round we dance
Gleaming of candles
Round we dance
Round we dance
The past is past
Through travelers' tales I travel too,
Tales of strange, distant worlds
Empires of jade, oriental horizons,
Dark, black mysterious eyes.
Brave merchants through deserts and mountains,
Miles and miles to reach this court

Reflection
04:00
|

I saw in your eyes a reflection of me, a feeling so deep.
Mother, daughter.
I'll care for you more than I ever was before.
We live in symbiosis and I hope to never leave you.

Proserpina

"Lungi è la luce in su questo muro
rifrange appena, una breve scorta
del rio palazzo alla soprana porta.
Lungi quei fiori d'Enna, O lido oscuro,
dal frutto tuo fatal che ormai m'è duro.
Lungi quel cielo dal tartareo manto
che qui mi cuopre: e lungi ahi lungi ahi quanto
le notti che saran dai dì che furo.
Lungi da me mi sento; e ognor sognando
cerco ricerco, e resto ascoltatrice.
E qualche cuore a qualche anima dice
(di cui mi giunge il suo di quando in quando,
continuamente insieme sospirando)
Oimé per te, Proserpina infelice!"
