Beautiful Child of Song
Beautiful Child of Song | |
Stephen Foster, 1860
| Come, I am longing to hear thee, Beautiful child of song, Come though the hearts that are near thee, Around the devotedly throng. Refrain: Come, I am longing to hear thee, |: Beautiful child of song, :| Im longing to hear thee Carol thy lay, sweet child of song. |
2. Come, for the spell of a fairy Dwells in thy magical voice, And at thy step, light and airy, E'en cold hearts enraptured rejoice. Refrain: |
