letra de the children's hour - hal holbrook
between the dark and the daylight
when the night is beginning to lower
comes a pause in the day’s occupations
that is known as the children’s hour
i hear in the chamber above me
the patter of little feet
the sound of a door that is opened
and voices soft and sweet
from my study i see in the lamplight
descending the broad hall stair
grave alice, and laughing allegra
and edith with golden hair
a whisper, and then a silence:
yet i know by their merry eyes
they arе plotting and planning together
to take mе by surprise
a sudden rush from the stairway
a sudden raid from the hall!
by three doors left unguarded
they enter my castle wall!
they climb up into my turret
o’er the arms and back of my chair;
if i try to escape, they surround me;
they seem to be everywhere
they almost devour me with kisses
their arms about me entwine
till i think of the bishop of bingen
in his mouse-tower on the rhine!
do you think, o blue-eyed banditti
because you have scaled the wall
such an old mustache as i am
is not a match for you all!
i have you fast in my fortress
and will not let you depart
but put you down into the dungeon
in the round-tower of my heart
and there will i keep you forever
yes, forever and a day
till the walls shall crumble to ruin
and moulder in dust away!
