John Ireland — I Will Walk on the Earth

I will walk on the earth Up to the top o' the trees Where sway the bird and the breeze And Song's wild eyes Look to the skies: Up to the top o' the trees Up to the top o' the trees! Up to the peaks o' the cloud Where Echo's suburbs crowd The lightning's flash And thund'rous crash: Up to the peaks o' the cloud Up to the peaks o' the cloud! Nay, I will walk on the earth; My love them all is worth: In Love I see All of them be And more - more - I will walk on the earth I will walk on the earth!
