TESTO DEL LIED

"Margrete's cradle song"
di William Archer (1856-1924)

Now roof and rafters blend with the starry vault on high,
Now flieth little Hakon on dreamwings through the sky.
There mounts a mighty stairway from earth to God's own land
There Hakon with the angels goes climbing hand in hand.
God's angel-babes are watching thy cot, the still night through,
God bless thee, little Hakon, thy mother watcheth too.
