Lyrics:
Dawn steps down the morning sky

In that one darkest hour
Before the dawn is here
Each soul of us goes sailing
Close to the coast of fear

There in the windless quiet
From out the folded black
The things we have forgotten
Or would forget, come back

Old sorrows, long abandoned
Or kept with lock and key
Steal from their prison places
To bear us company

All softly come our little sins
Our scarlet sins, and gray
To keep with us a vigil
Till breaking of the day

And there are velvet footsteps
Or oft we seem to hear
Light garments brush against the dark
So near, so very near!

Then heavily, as weighed by tears
Each haunted moment goes
For dawn steps down the morning sky
In robes of gray and rose.

* * * * *

O fairies of the forest-ring
And little men in green
And pixies of the moonlight
And elves no eye hath seen
Brew us a magic potion
Of deep and fairy power
A draught of Lethe, for one night
To tide us past that hour
