Margretes Cradle Song by Gustav Holst Lyrics
Now roof and rafters blend
With the starry vault on high
Now flieth little Hākon
On dreamwings through the sky
There mounts a mighty stairway
From earth to God's own land
There Hakon with the angels goes
Climbing hand in hand
God's angel-babes are watching
Thy cot, the still night through
God bless thee, little Hakon
Thy mother watcheth too
With the starry vault on high
Now flieth little Hākon
On dreamwings through the sky
There mounts a mighty stairway
From earth to God's own land
There Hakon with the angels goes
Climbing hand in hand
God's angel-babes are watching
Thy cot, the still night through
God bless thee, little Hakon
Thy mother watcheth too
