When Beauty Walked the Land Lyrics

When Beauty walked the land

She was a child

She gave to us the hills, the lochs, and trees

When Beauty walked the land

We loved the child

All birds and beasts, all men fell to their knees

And as the trees grew straight and tall

And mountains shed their waterfalls

The people danced

Their joy was great

And then they slept

But then the men grew frail and old

And mountain glades fell into cold

And spirits danced

Their joy was great

And Beauty slept

Now dreamers walk the land

As men and beasts

They roam the hills and lochs, the spirit-living trees

Now dreamers walk the land

With but a dream, a memory of

When Beauty walked the land
