w:Sweet mu-sic floats from the mer-maids' sing-ing And round me soft-ly the ech-oes die.
W:(Chorus)
W:Faint bells afar in the west are ringing,
W:Where dim blue hills kiss the evening sky;
W:Sweet music floats from the mermaids' singing
W:And round me softly the echoes die.
W:
W:Dream island, queen of the golden gloaming,
W:Your misty brow holds the ling'ring sun,
W:While twilight seas round your feet are foaming
W:Nor sink to slumber when day is done.
W:
W:O'er wind-swept moorlands the night is creeping,
W:And birch-trees whisper by hidden streams:
W:In mystic caves shadow folk are sleeping,
W:While fairies float o'er my isle of dreams.
