Sub Rosa, The Song of the Wanderer

Nobody nobody told me
What nobody nobody knows
But now I know where the rainbow ends
I know where there grows
A Tree, thats called the Tree of Life
I know where there flows
The river of All Forgotteness
And where the Lotus blows
And I´ve trodden the forest
Where in flames of gold and rose
To burn and then arise again
The Phoenix goes
Nobody nobody told me
What nobody nobody knows
Hide thy face in a veil of light
Put on thy silver shoes
Thou art the stranger I know best
Thou art the sweetheart who
Came from the land between Wake and Dream
Cold with the morning dew

Walter de la Mare
