¶Lyrics / Text

High on the windy cliff Between the sea and the sky The memorial cross is set. 'They died that we might live,' I wince at the solemn claim The living too soon forget. O pitiful lettered names That did all this resign, Light, and the white gull’s flight Between the sky and the sea! All this that now is mine, Sunshine warm on my skin, And the blood warm in my veins. Who am I that I should win From your forfeiture in strife This ecstasy, this life!
