lyrics

Elevation


Above the mountains and above the clouds,
Above the valleys, woods and lakes and ocean,
Beyond the sun, beyond ethereal spaces
And starry spheres, beyond their utmost bounds,

Swift spirit, now you make your supple way,
And, like a swimmer ravished by the waves,
You gaily cleave the great unfathomed deeps
With an ineffable and viril joy.

Fly far from these miasmic sickly places;
Arise and cleanse yourself in higher air,
And drink, as of a draught divine and pure,
The lucent fire that floods the sky-clear spaces.

Beyond the dreary cares and vast distress
That weigh upon our dim existence here,
Happy the man who with a vigorous wing
Can soar towards the shining fields of peace;

Happy the man whose thoughts, like larks, take wing
Freely towards the morning skies - who glides
Above this life and simply understands
The speech of flowers and of silent things.
