Edward Elgar
The Blue Mountains
Over the Blue Mountains
The sun at evening went;
And there was nought beyond them
And we were well content
Yet, over the Blue Mountains
As birds at evening may
Though there was nought beyond them
Our dreams began to stray
The Southern Cross came riding
Like Gabriel overhead
Up to the shining summits;
We followed where it led
We lеft the world behind us --
The mists of timе unfurled
And over the Blue Mountains
We found a greater world
