Of the Dark Past (Ecce Peur)

guitar chords lyrics

Joan Baez

James Joyce
Of The Dark Past
A child is born;

With joy and grief
My heart is torn.
Calm in his cradle
The living lies.
May love and mercy
Unclose his eyes!
Young life is breathed
On the glass;
The world that was not
Comes to pass.
A child is sleeping:
An old man gone.

Comes to pass.
A child is sleeping:
An old man gone.
O, father forsaken,
Forgive your son!
