Lyrics
[Intro][Middle Eastern Melisma]
(ooooh, ooooooaaahhhhh ooooh)
[Verse]
Split the Lark—and you’ll find the Mewwwwww-sic—
Bulb after Bulb, in Silver rollllllled—
Scantily dealt to the Summer Morrrr-nning
Saved for your Ear when Lutes be ollllllld.
.
.
.
(Split the lark, unfurl the moon's keen horn,
Within its breast, song-seeds forlorn,
Each crystalline note, dew-kissed till dawn,
Summer's gift of morn, silver pearls born.)
.
.
.
Loose the Flood—and you'll find it pattttt-ent—
Gush after Gush, reserved for yoouuu—
Scarlet Experiment, Sceptic Thommm-mas,
Now, do you doubt that your Bird was tru-uuue
(Unceasing floods spill forth patent truth
Doubt's dam unfurls, each dewdrop proof
Gush after gush, 'triumph in vermillion hue'
Now, believe — the bird's melody is true.)

Now, do you doubt that your Bird was tru-uuue
Now, do you doubt that your Bird was tru-uuue
Now, do you doubt

[Spoken]
And all shall be --
And all shall be --
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one
And all shall be --
And all shall be --
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one (are one)
.

And the fire and the rose are one (are one)

And the fire and the rose are one (are one)

And the fire and the rose are one (are one)
