ghizela rowe - william henry drummond - the old pine tree كلمات أغنية

“listen my child,” said the old pine
tree, to the little one nestling near
“for the storm clouds troop together to_night
and the wind of the north i hear
and perchance there may come some echo of
the music of long ago
the music that rang when the white host
sang, marching across the snow.”

“up and away saint george! up thro’ the
mountain gorge
over the plain where the tempest blows, and
the great white flakes arе flying
down the long narrow glen! faster my mеrry
men
follow the trail, tho’ shy moon hides, and
deeply the drifts are lying.”

“ah! mother.” the little pine tree replied
“you are dreaming again to_night
of ghostly visions and phantom forms that for_
ever mock your sight
’tis true moan of the winter wind comes
to my list’ning ear
but the white host marching, i cannot see
and their music i cannot hear.”
“when the northern skies were all aflame
where the trembling banners swung
when up in the vaulted heavens the moon of
the snow shoe hung
when the hurricane swept the hillside, and the
crested drifts ran high
those were the nights,” said the old pine tree
“the great white host marched by.”

and the storm grew fiercer, fiercer, and the
snow went hissing past
but the little pine tree still listened, till she
heard above the blast
the music her mother loved to hear in the
nights of the long ago
and saw in the forest the white_clad host
marching across the snow

and loud they sang as they tramped along of
the glorious bygone days
whan valley and hill re_echeoed the snow_
shoer’s hymn of praise
till the shy moon gazed down smiling, and the
north wind pause to hear
and the old pine tree felt young again as the
little one nestling near
“up and away saint george! up thro’ the
mountain gorge
over the plain where the tempest blows, and
the great white flakes are flying
down the long narrow glen! faster my merry
men
follow the trail, tho’ the shy moon hides, and
deeply the drifts are lying.”
