The Return Of Magic
Rest with me and remember again
The passage of magic from our realm
Long ago, banished by barbarians.
The passage of magic from our realm
Long ago, banished by barbarians.
Grieve for our ages in an empty world
Of brittle sky and hard thin earth;
Of brittle sky and hard thin earth;
We should but weep and turn again away
Had we not just seen glimmer
The olden glow’s grainy lustre
Flicker soft where one passed walking —
And had seen others seeing.
Had we not just seen glimmer
The olden glow’s grainy lustre
Flicker soft where one passed walking —
And had seen others seeing.
It is enough — for magic has returned.
Secretly we smile, knowing.
Secretly we smile, knowing.
And with one breath
Wash away our empty interlude
Full only of imitation.
And rest in light together
Far from cold mid-winter memories
Of circled figures on barren moors
Waiting for the sun.
It is enough — for
magic has returned.Far from cold mid-winter memories
Of circled figures on barren moors
Waiting for the sun.

The End Of Sorrow
