THE RED DEER
No! free as the stars are,
The sun 's not more free:
He is free as the waters
Escaped to the sea.
The sun 's not more free:
He is free as the waters
Escaped to the sea.
All ye who would claim him,
Be silent at last!
Ye are gone like the bright leaves
Blown high on the blast.
With your castles and abbeys,
Through time he remaineth
The red deer of freedom
Whom no man enchaineth.
Be silent at last!
Ye are gone like the bright leaves
Blown high on the blast.
With your castles and abbeys,
Through time he remaineth
The red deer of freedom
Whom no man enchaineth.
