A Bolt of Blazing Gold Lyrics

A bolt of blazing gold,
Lifted from the horizon's edge
Another radiant dawn sends new hope,
Avowed my hearty pledgeMy yearning to be part
Of nature's truthful solitude
Of wisdom's inner light
That shines in mystic multitudeThe guiding source within,
So few of us will ever know
And few will ever climb
The great world-tree from which we've grownBut those who seek will find
The rhythm that vibrates high and far
And rearrange the cosmic threads,
The pattern of the Weave of StarsA bolt of blazing gold,
A sunfire in zenith hurled
Oh, wingless skydancer,
Rejoiced upon the warmth unfurledWhat wonders do you hold ensnared
With your mighty heart?
What secrets may be mine

To brother-share as we depart?Of richest emerald forged,
My soul still rises, longingly
From inferno's winding caverns,
Through dark air soaring, restlesslyIf silence was enough!
No words can grasp my starkest thoughts
No language known to man
Portrays my naked sentimentA bolt of blazing gold,
Swallowed by the waveless sea
The ocean-winds set sail,
In breeze towards their destinyOn solarbeams they rode,
White sea-gull-wings in harmony
For a moment's startling glimpse
A sienna-burnt tranquilityOh father of the coloured sky,
Unwear thy robe of shadowhood
Let nature's soul once clash again
'Neath blooming glades of goldenwoodWe're the ones who seek
To dance to fallen serenades
The magic hymns of gold;
As softly sung, the sunlight fades awayOf richest emerald forged,
My soul still rises, longingly
From inferno's winding caverns,
Through dark air soaring, restlesslyIf silence was enough!
No words can grasp my starkest thoughts
No language known to man
Portrays my naked sentimentA world of silent stone,
As frozen in the nightly sky
In heaven's dark recesses laid,
No living soul draws nightFor seconds all is still,
No moonlight heaves throughout the dark
Nor do the heavens breathe,
No dryads wreathe within the darkWithin my dark domain
