You can even add some arpeggios to make it sound better, but pick the melodic line's notes louder. So here are the lyrics (and chords as well) -------------(part 1 and 2 : Am, G, C then F, C, G, Am)--------------- Am G C Beloved, gaze in thine own heart F C G Am The holy tree is growing there Am G C >From joy the holy branches start F C G Am And all the trembling flowers they bear Am G C The changing colors of its fruit F C G Am Have dowered the stars with merry light Am G C The surety of its hidden root F C G Am Has planted quiet in the night ----------(part 2 only : F, C, G, Am)----------------------------------- F C G Am The shaking of its leafy head F C G Am Has given the waves their melody F C G Am And made my lips and music wed F C G Am Murmuring a wizard song for thee (part 1 and 2) There the Loves a circle go The flaming circle of our days Gyring, spiring to and fro In those great ignorant leafy ways (part 2 only) Remembering all that stroken hair And how the wingled sandal dart Thine eye grow full of tender cares Beloved, gaze in thine own heart (part 1 and 2) Gaze no more in the bitter glass The demons with their subbtle guile Lift up before us when they pass Or only gaze a little while (part 2 only) For there a fatal image grows That the stormy night receives Roots half hidden under snows Broken boughs and blackened leaves (part 1 and 2) For all things turns to bareness In the dim glass the demon hold The glass of outer weariness Made when God slept in time of old (part 2 only) There, through the broken branches, go The ravens of unrestiung thought Flying, crying, to and fro Cruel claws and hungry throat Or else they stand and sniff the wind And shake their ragged wings : alas ! Thy tender eyes grow all unkind Gaze no more in the bitter glass (part 1 and 2) Beloved, gaze in thine own heart The holy tree is growing there >From joy the holy branches start And all the trembling flowers they bear (part 2 only) Remembering all that shaken hair And how the winged sandal care Beloved, gaze in thine own heart ----------------------------------- Enjoy this beautiful celtic song...
