Original text and translations
English text
- Bright is the ring of words
- When the right man rings them,
- Fair the fall of songs
- When the singer sings them,
- Still they are carolled and said–
- On wings they are carried–
- After the singer is dead
- And the maker buried.
- Low as the singer lies
- In the field of heather,
- Songs of his fashion bring
- The swains together.
- And when the west is red
- With the sunset embers,
- The lover lingers and sings
- And the maid remembers.
Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
