Story behind the song

Phantastes by George MacDonald is one of the most remarkable (and unjustly neglected) fantasy novels ever written.  His haunting poetry formed the perfect basis for this song cycle.

Lyrics

From Phantastes by George MacDonald

             Not a sound
             But, echoing in me,
             Vibrates all around
             With a blind delight,
             Till it breaks on Thee,
             Queen of Night!

             Every tree,
             Overshadowing with gloom,
             Seems to cover thee
             Secret, dark, love-still'd,
             In a holy room
             Silence-filled.

             Let no moon
             Creep up the heaven to-night;
             I in darksome noon
             Walking hopefully,
             Seek my shrouded light--
             Grope for thee!

             Darker grow
             The borders of the dark!
             Through the branches glow,
             From the roof above,
             Star and diamond-spark,
             Light for love.
