The coolness of the riverbank, and the whispering of the reeds
Daybreak is not so very far awayEnchanted and spellbound, in the silence they lingered
And rowed the boat as the light grew steadily strong
And the birds were silent, as they listened for the heavenly music
And the river played the songThe wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawnThe song dream happened and the cloven hoofed piper
Played in that holy ground where they felt the awe and wonder
And they all were unafraid of the great god PanAnd the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawnWhen the vision vanished they heard a choir of birds singing
In the heavenly silence between the trance and the reeds
And they stood upon the lawn and listened to the silenceOf the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawnIt's the wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows and the piper at the gates of dawn
