All night a wind of music
Language: English
All night a wind of music, All night a purple sunshine Upon the earth; The portal chrystalline Of Paradise, bright Paradise, Where the streams of odour flow, Gently, musically slow, Where the blossoms of ambrosia Sparkle with cerulian beam, The portal of the ancient city Stood open on the sea.
