Child Of The Crystal Night

                      Child of the Crystal Night

                  Sweet child of the crystal night

                  In the shining of the light

                  The moon is rising rising bright

                  In silent drifting dreaming white

                  Snowflake crystals slowly fall

                  As cold moonbeams illumine all

                  And tiny ears still hear the call

                  Of something far beyond recall

                  For lost in quiet serene still morn

                  We are the lords of the morning dawn

                  And none can challenge such as we

                  When from dark power we break free

                  Yet motionless in frozen space

                  The sparkling strands of silver lace

                  All lattice worked in golden grace

                  Soon disappear and leave no trace

                  And we who wait upon our time

                  That knows no reason nor of rhyme

                  Must needs the crystal mountain climb

                  That reigns in majesty sublime

                  For yet as now our dream lives on

                  From ancient time all now forgone

                  We hear the call of gods beyond 

                  All earthly care or black despond .....
