Beautiful Child of Song.
1.
Come, I am longing to hear thee,Beautiful child of song,
Come though the hearts that are near thee,
Around thee devotedly throng
Come, I am longing to hear thee,
Beautiful child of song.
Beautiful child of song,
I'm longing to hear thee carol thy lay, sweet child of song.
I'm longing to hear thee carol thy lay, sweet child of song.
2.
Come, for the spell of a fairyDwells in thy magical voice,
And at thy step light and airy,
E'en cold hearts enraptured rejoice.
Come, I am longing to hear thee,
Beautiful child of song.
Beautiful child of song,
I'm longing to hear thee carol thy lay sweet child of song.
I'm longing to hear thee carol thy lay sweet child of song.
