Listen, Learn, Read On
(专辑: The Book Of Taliesyn - 1968)
In ages past when spells were cast In a
time of men in steel When a
man was taught no special thing It was all done by feel So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the
page, read the
Book of Taliesyn Hear the
song of lovely Joan Her sound so sweet and clear In the
courtroom of the
King Among children and the
peers So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the
page, read the
Book of Taliesyn "Now hear ye the
words of Taliesyn, on the
foaming beach of the
ocean, in the
day of trouble, I
shall be of more service to thee than three hundred salmon..." The
hare he bounds across the
page Past castles white and fair Past dreaming chessmen on their boards With a
fool's mate as a
snare So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the
page, read the
Book of Taliesyn "Three times I
have been born I
know this from meditation..." The
bird he flies the
distance From pages two to six Past minstrels in their boxes To the
waters of the
Styx So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the
page, read the
Book of Taliesyn Don't take the
pictures lightly Listen to their sound For from their coloured feeling Experience is found So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the
page, read the
Book of Taliesyn "All the
sciences of the
world are collected in my breast, for I
know what has been, what is now, and what hereafter will occur..."
