This lovely music went trembling through the ground
and many were wakened on hearing the sound
and travellers on the road the village the found

which shone all around.

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
the stranger returned and said: "Now I must fly!
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
,this song will begin once again to a baby's cry!"
