Down in the glen
Language: English
Down in the glen Through the silence of the leaves, Listen! You will hear, Softly clear, Music, And see glisten Silver wings. Something sings Down in the glen. Down in the glen In the wonder of the night, Hearken! By the cool silent pool, Shadows, as they darken, See the gleam Of a dream Down in the glen. Down in the glen Where the moonlight weaves a path, Follow - You will see, In ecstasy, Fairies dancing in the hollow Of a tree, Merrily, Down in the glen.
